It's actually pretty easy to locate a radio source on a particular frequency, especially if it's a frequency where most transmitters are known/registered (e.g. police radios).
You do realize that not all police are beat cops, right? They have technical specialists. If there's an issue outside the qualifications of a regular officer, they just refer it to the specialists who know exactly what to do.
Police have been driving around with suitcase-sized Stingray devices since at least 2006. They absolutely have equipment that can triangulate a radio source - they don't even really need to understand how it works, just turn it on.
The problem isn't one strong stationary interferer, its a large number of weak intermittent interferers.
