Try searching scanner radio uk...

....in google and look for websites dedicated to scanner radios in the UK. You'll probably get more info that way than from here.

TETRA for all its airborne limitations and expensiveness is at least, very, very secure..
Sadly, it has also proved itself to be very, very crap operationally. It is, without doubt, the most unreliable piece of kit I have used in 22 years and frequently finds itself thrown onto the floor of the car in frustration (which, admittedly, probably doesn't help ).

And has cost £billions to achieve that rather mediocre level of performance

It is however gradually becoming the de facto standard for public security comms throughout the world with the exception of the USA.

One tin and half the string = TETRA
Like Jayteeto says It really isn't worth listening to.Plus some forces now have blogs of jobs attended so if you were that curious you could find out that way.

Just to add a bit of balance TETRA works pretty well in th NW in my experience we can monitor 4 channels, listen to whichever area we want as we transit the area resulting in very quick response. Compared to the old 138Mhz and bar connects it is brilliant.
