Call-Out Procedures: With more and more evidence of criminal activity being captured or maintained on electronic devices, the JECTF is maintaining a call-out list in the event that your agency is at a crime scene and feels it would be best to involve one of the JECTF examiners to assist in collecting electronic evidence on-scene.
To have a JECTF examiner respond to your scene, please have the officer or investigator needing assistance to first notify UAPD dispatch (205-348-5454); UAPD dispatch maintains the current call-out list and will notify the on-call examiner.
