Police carry around a big heavy radio that weighs 3-6 times what a small phone or radio weighs. They use that weight to get a more powerful signal, like a phone vs a Bluetooth speaker. They also use lower frequencies, which carry farther for the same power, like a boom box vs a water bottle size speaker. To get even farther they network those radios together like a Sonos, so you can hear from everywhere.
