Requesting Assistance

When requesting assistance, the law enforcement agency should first contact the RCFL to discuss the request, and then carefully complete one of the following forms or letters—

Request Letter

The requesting agency should write a letter on their stationary that explains the nature of the request. The letter must contain a supervising agent’s signature, and can accompany either the Field Service Request Form or the Evidence Custody Form.

Field Service Request Form

Requests for on-site assistance are accepted on a case-by-case basis from any law enforcement agency in the RCFL's service area. The RCFL prioritizes each request according to the nature of the crime and uses the Field Service Request Form to monitor and track cases.

Evidence Custody Form

If the service request involves the submission of digital evidence, include this form along with the request letter to ensure the integrity of the evidence while in the RCFL's custody.

Training Requests

Any law enforcement agency in the RCFL's service area may request training. Simply complete an Administrative Request form and submit it to the RCFL. Upon receipt, an RCFL official will follow up with the requesting agency.
