So instances like that where maybe state and locals don't have the resources that the FBI has, and sometimes the FBI will just take on that part of the investigation and provide their expertise on that part while other parts of the investigation remain with the state and locals.

And what I wanna say is no case follows the same path every single time.

There's not a checklist.

There's not, you have to do this, you have to do that.

A lot of it depends on what the relationship is already, what the understandings are.

Once you get to know people, when I was a supervisor, things probably would have been handled differently when I was brand new.

But after several years of being a supervisor, I knew exactly who to call.

I knew exactly how a case was gonna play out.

I knew who was gonna work it.

That kind of you just because I learned the lay of the land.

And so, you know, depending on how relationships are in different divisions and in between different offices, it could be very different than my experience.

Right.

We will help on any investigation.

It doesn't matter.

You don't have to have a death.

You don't have to have state lines.

You don't necessarily have to have a federal nexus.

If a local law enforcement agency is requesting some kind of assistance, then the FBI will figure out a way to provide that assistance.

And sometimes they just don't necessarily have the resources.

And we have those resources and we will help them.
