This includes the police, they are supposed to have someone who can use the equipment in case of a crash or fire. Trained by CAA approved firemen.
Not difficult, personnel must have training in the use of the equipment and must be available when the helicopter is departing or arriving. The ops officer, spare observer or engineer (if on site) can all cover this role. That's how it's done. You can read all about it in CAP 789 Ch 21 Annex 3.

The police are going to operate their helicopter wherever and whenever they like
No, the police will operate their aircraft in accordance with the current regulations. Have a look at CAP 612. In the past they have been prosecuted for not doing so. I was personally involved with one such case.
