pretty simple actually:

Military - A lot of combat now happens in cities. It's hard to practice tight cover fire for military choppers in those environments unless it's actually done in a city. I'm sure they have different electronic practice targets setup everywhere to simulate rpg enemies on roft tops or snipers in buildings

Cops - This has been happening since the police forces first formed. Police are the first line of civilian defense until the state militia's can form and the military can arrive. Joint exercises increase awareness incase an incident occurs such as roits, terrorist attack, or even as far fetched as it can seem an invasion
