Emergency services need to have their own radio network constructed to fit the area they are in. The mobile network is fine for a back up but in the case of a real emergency, it's going to be jammed with people trying to Periscope, tweet and go live on FB. Forget saving money, some things need backups. If the backups are completely different technology, that's even better.
