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.
You'd hate for someone to not get an inspection sticker ticket because of this. I find it a fiscally responsible policy. Hell, it's only several thousands of dollars per unit per year to keep them running so whatever.

That idle time isn’t where all the gas is wasted, it’s wasted in extra duty details where they sit on the side of the road or in a parking lot for 7 hours with the car running. That wastes more gas each yeah than their lunch ever could, but there is no way to change that because that is an accepted perk of law enforcement is using your vehicle for extra details.
