How well do you work with outside agencies when working a case?

"In my experience, collaborating with outside agencies can greatly benefit a case. It opens up access to a wider range of resources and expertise, which can speed up the investigation process and enhance the quality of the outcomes. I've found it helpful to discuss higher profile cases with the prosecutor's office while the investigation is still underway. When dealing with other departments, it's important to establish clear communication lines and ensure that all parties share the same goals, expectations, and procedures. Success in any team effort ultimately depends on the ability of all parties to work together effectively and efficiently towards a common objective. That said, I work well with outside agencies as long as those communication lines are clear."
