If yes how? If no, why not?

If you’re the police and want to know the location of a mobile phone, you can just call the network operator. They know which of their towers had the strongest signal and therefore probably was closest to the phone. That gives you at least a rough location.
I’ve heard that nowadays they can narrow it down further by correlating the signal strengths of various towers in the vicinity. The accuracy of this is probably still limited compared to the phones GPS.
