Many (or most?) large police services' vehicles are GPS-tracked and there is work to get that down to the individual portable radio level, but it's expensive. There are differences depending on how the portable talks to the network, and challenges when a lot of radios are packed into a small area.

Not a large portion of us outside certain areas.
And tracking the units versus the member is a totally different ball game.
The ability to direct people to positions on the fly from tablets etc.
Track individual members in foot pursuits- containment….SAR.
The GPS units in some of the PCs is one thing. Dropping mission packets and having individuals and tasking is a different beast.
While it sounds similar- especially the GPS integration on portables, a true tracker being trialed can also be used by each individual officer to see themselves in relation not just a dispatch centre.
Running a call with IR video dumping to my tablet from a helicopter, and a tracker with the ability to direct individuals by the meter- giving them routes etc is more than just GPS tracking.
We re trying to sort the logistics.

UPDATE: Class action lawsuit will likely seek more than $300-million from convoy protest organizers, supporters
Ottawa lawyer Paul Champ, who is representing downtown residents, says his team is open to talking with individual protesters if they want to reach a settlement outside of the class action.

It won’t be tracking of individual radios, but rather a blue force tracker on every officer’s work cellphone. It already exists and is fielded by some services. Pretty sweet tech, and fantastic for critical incident perimeter and containment on the fly.

The new systems being purchased radio-wise are all GPS capable- some it’s a matter of infrastructure. Others it’s software or something- that’s not something I have even passing understanding of really. “Works here” vs “doesn’t work here” being the extent of it.
That capability seems comparable- but in my experience getting any reliable data off that system in any useable form isn’t. It’s either not sensitive enough- so radius is nonsense or it doesn’t work at all. I believe that’s how Lenaitch is looking at it- purely from that GPS function. Which tracking units and placing them on a map is indeed a tracker of a sort- ops wise it’s pretty archaic.
The individual device system is easier and more intuitive and reliable
The errors being the cops using them in most cases.There are some challenges- like organizing intelligent groups that’s are useful, and getting people used to the features, or unsurprisingly, expectations of charging and carrying the platform.

I forgot about the issued cel-phones. For scenarios like Ottawa, the challenge is the numbers in a fairly compact area and the resulting data impact on the network. The advantage is the extent of the network coverage in an urban setting.The new systems being purchased radio-wise are all GPS capable- some it’s a matter of infrastructure.

Might have helped back in the '70s when I was assigned to a checkpoint (roadblock) then forgotten about for the next 15 hours. At least local cottagers brought us food.

How is this purge being "led" by the CBC?
Seems to me they are playing catch-up to the Toronto Star who started their coverage of the story back on 22 Feb.
Ontario police officers are named in leaked list of donors to the ‘Freedom Convoy’
Both Toronto police and the OPP say they are investigating officers named in the leaked list of GiveSendGo donors.

OPP investigating reports police officers donated to “Freedom Convoy” protests
TORONTO - Two Ontario police forces have notified their professional standards units of allegations that some of their officers donated to the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests against COVID-19 measures and Justin Trudeau’s government.
www.thestar.com
Back then, the CBC's first coverage (a day later) appeared to only be reporting OPP and TPS confirmation that they are investigating the reports of police officers donations.

Michael Taube: Justin Trudeau has been a national embarrassment
This has been an embarrassing period of history that started with a well-received eulogy
nationalpost.com
Is illegally obtained information admissible in court?
Also do the police services have an administrative measures type thing for police officers which "isn't disciplinary" (where the evidence bar is low)?
