It can be done by triangulating signal strengths to the cell towers. GPS is not required, but can provide a more precise location if the phone can pick up the satellite signals, in which case the phone reports the GPS location to the cell towers.

Why police use mobile phones?

Police use mobile phones for the same reason you do; for quick and easy communications with pretty much anyone. The exception to this is in the event of a major disaster that interrupts police and emergency services communications, cell phones are considered a backup for normal police communications. In non-emergency situations, cell phones are not a secure means of communications, and can be eavesdropped upon and used to locate the caller. As such, these are never an official means of first responder and emergency services communications.
