Not where I come from, Randy.
That was the army alphabet, and they didn't ask anybody's advice, they just did it the army way. The cops copied the army way, because cops are wannabe army dudes. That's why they collect tanks and stuff to control non-violent protests.
I am not interested in the cops who are wannabe army dudes. I only like female cops anyway.
It's international not police... Also the words are chosen to have as few syllables as possible and to be unique sounding to avoid confusion
The alphabet you are reciting originated with NATO in the 1950s and was tested among 31 different nationalities. Prior to that, different military forces used different alphabet codewords.

Some police forces use a different phonetic alphabet, beginning with Adam, Boy, Charles, David.... One can assume it was designed for English-speaking police forces, with comprehension across different languages no being a consideration.
Because it was someone's job to come up with that alphabet and this is what he came up with.
