Yes it is protocol. The electronics inside take a while to get up and running again, and they must be ready to respond to a call immediately. If they were to leave the electronics on and turn the car off, it would kill their battery.

If you're going to be a smart arse, at least get the dates right.
Tech was in police cars in the 70s. Two say radio was there 40 years prior.
As for leaving it running, a vehicle is inherently more likely to keep running than it is to restart.
Risk. Reward.
Average MPG for a v8 cruiser is 12mpg, average MPG for a v8 cruiser that is never shut off is 6s and 7s.
