Law Enforcement Liaison
Make Your Case Heard. Make It Stick.
Law enforcement liaison starts with a hard truth: reporting a crime is not the same as getting it investigated. Agencies have more complaints than people. So a matter that arrives as a story, not a case, goes to the bottom of the stack. Our licensed investigators structure the evidence and write the referral the way investigators and prosecutors need it. Then we deliver it to the right agency and stay engaged until the matter moves.

We Have Sat on the Other Side of the Desk.
Law enforcement liaison takes a matter an agency has ignored, misunderstood, or never seen. Then it presents that matter so an investigator can open a file and a prosecutor can charge it. It is not lobbying, and it is not legal representation. Instead, it is intelligence work. We establish the facts, identify the subjects, and organize the evidence. Next, we map that evidence to the elements of a specific offense. Finally, we put it in front of the unit with both the jurisdiction and the appetite to act.
Our team includes former CIA, FBI, and Military Intelligence personnel. It also includes former law enforcement and financial-crimes professionals. They have been on the receiving end of complaints and referrals. As a result, they know what gets a matter opened and what gets it shelved. That is why we prepare cases the way agencies need to receive them.
Our Intelligence Director, Everett Stern, is the HSBC whistleblower. His evidence exposed the bank’s laundering of money for drug cartels and sanctioned entities. That case moved only because the evidence reached the right people organized, documented, and ready to act on. We bring that standard to every referral.
Why Your Report Went Nowhere
You filed a police report. You called the FBI tip line. You submitted a complaint to IC3 or the state attorney general. Weeks passed. Nobody called back. Meanwhile, the person who took your money is still operating. And the evidence you have gets older every day.
This is the most common frustration we hear. It comes from how law enforcement actually works. Every agency, from a county sheriff’s office to the FBI, has more complaints than people. So agencies triage cases. A detective or agent looking at a new matter makes a fast judgment:
- Is there a crime here I can prove?
- Do I have jurisdiction?
- Is there a subject I can identify?
- Is the evidence organized, or is it a pile?
- Will a prosecutor take this?
If the answers are unclear, the case goes to the bottom of the stack and stays there.
Most victim complaints fail that screen because victims write them as stories, not cases. They explain what happened without identifying the elements of a specific offense. They include screenshots without a timeline. They name a suspect without showing how the evidence connects to that person. Often, they go to the wrong agency or to one without jurisdiction. Others fall below the dollar threshold an agency uses to set priorities. As a result, a detective would need days of work to understand the matter before deciding to take it. That is time the detective does not have.
Our job is to do that work before the agency ever sees the file.
CASE ARTICULATION
Case articulation translates your experience into a case. For example, it takes a year of emails, bank statements, and conversations. Then it reduces them to a structured account. That account answers the investigator’s questions before anyone asks them. It also identifies the statutes that fit, the elements of each, and the evidence behind each element. Finally, it names the agency and unit that should receive the matter. It presents the matter the way that unit expects.
Where the evidence is incomplete, we fill the gaps. Because Tactical Rabbit is a full investigative agency, a liaison engagement can draw on digital forensics and open-source intelligence. It can also use financial tracing and human intelligence. With these tools, we identify a subject, trace the money, or establish a fact the case depends on.
- The elements of the offense: The facts mapped to each element of the specific statutes implicated, not a description of something bad that happened.
- Jurisdiction and venue: Which agency has authority, and where. Wire fraud that crossed state lines is a different case, and a different agency, than a local theft.
- An identified subject: Where the evidence supports naming an individual or entity, we do that work and show it. An unknown suspect is a far harder case to open.
- Organized evidence: A chronological timeline and an index of every document and communication. We also note where each item came from and how it was preserved.
- The money trail: For fraud: what was sent, where it went, who controlled the receiving accounts, and what can be traced from there.
- Witnesses: Who else saw what happened, who else was affected, and how to reach them.
I already filed a police report. Can you still help?
Yes. In most of our matters, the client has already filed a report that went nowhere. So we start with what exists and identify why it stalled. Then we build the case the agency needed to see. Finally, we re-present it to the right unit, or to a different agency with better jurisdiction.
Do I need a lawyer first?
Not necessarily, though many clients come through counsel. Where a referral involves a legal framework or a parallel civil action, we coordinate with your attorney. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.
LAW ENFORCEMENT REFERRAL PACKAGES
A referral package is the deliverable. We write it so an investigator can read it in twenty minutes. In that time, they learn what happened, who did it, and what crime it appears to be. They also see exactly what the client is asking for. Everything an agency needs to open a case is in one place, in order. In other words, the work is already done.
- Executive summary: One to two pages: what happened, who did it, the apparent offense, and the request.
- Statement of facts: A chronological narrative built from the evidence, with each fact tied to its source.
- Timeline: Every relevant event, dated and sourced, in order.
- Parties: Subjects, with the identification work that connects them to the conduct; victims; witnesses.
- Legal framework: The statutes implicated, their elements, and the evidence supporting each element, prepared in coordination with your counsel.
- Financial analysis: Transaction tracing, account identification, and the money trail, where applicable.
- Evidence index: Every exhibit, numbered and described, with its origin and chain of custody.
- Technical findings: Digital forensics, open-source intelligence, and attribution work, with stated confidence levels.
- Requested action and contacts: What the client is asking for, and who at Tactical Rabbit the agency can contact for follow-up and testimony.
How long does a package take?
It depends on how much investigation the matter needs. When the evidence is already in hand, we can package a case in days. However, a case that needs forensics, tracing, or subject identification takes longer. Either way, we tell you the scope and timeline at intake.
Can the same package support a civil case?
Yes. We build the evidence index, timeline, and financial analysis to the same standard as our litigation support work. In fact, most fraud clients pursue criminal referral and civil recovery in parallel.
THE RIGHT AGENCY, THE RIGHT UNIT
Local police handle some matters. Others belong with a state attorney general or a sheriff’s economic crimes unit. Still others belong with the FBI, the Secret Service, or Homeland Security Investigations. Some go to the Postal Inspection Service, a state regulator, or a federal agency with a specific mandate. Sending a matter to the wrong one wastes months.
Some matters also benefit from parallel referrals. For example, we may file a criminal complaint and a regulatory complaint together, so each reinforces the other. Choosing the recipient is part of the service. So is choosing the unit and, where possible, the contact within it. Then we deliver the package in the form that unit expects.
- Federal: FBI field offices and IC3, U.S. Secret Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Also IRS Criminal Investigation and the Offices of Inspector General for the relevant agency.
- State: Attorneys general, state law enforcement, financial regulators, and licensing boards.
- Local: Sheriff’s and police economic-crimes, cyber, and major-case units; state attorney’s offices.
- Regulatory and parallel: SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, FTC, and other regulators where a parallel complaint strengthens the criminal referral.
Can you get the FBI to take my case?
No one can make an agency open a case. Anyone who promises that is misleading you. Instead, we make sure the matter reaches the right unit in the form that unit acts on. We also address jurisdiction and dollar thresholds up front. That is what moves a matter from the pile to the desk.
ONGOING AGENCY COORDINATION
Agencies have questions. They request additional material. They need a point of contact who can answer in their language and on their schedule. That is why Tactical Rabbit stays engaged. We respond to requests and provide supplemental analysis. Our investigators are available to brief and to testify. Meanwhile, we keep you informed of where the matter stands.
If a matter stalls, we advise on escalation. That may mean a supervisor, a different agency, or a prosecutor’s office directly. When it is the right move, it may also mean going public through our Public Relations & Reputation Defense work.
- Agency point of contact: A named investigator the agency can call, who knows the file.
- Supplemental analysis: Additional tracing, forensics, or subject work as the agency’s questions develop.
- Briefings and testimony: Investigators available to brief case agents and prosecutors and to testify where required.
- Status reporting: Regular updates to you and your counsel on what the agency has asked for and what has moved.
- Escalation strategy: When and how to go up the chain, across to another agency, or public.
How Law Enforcement Liaison Works
- Confidential intake: A protected conversation about what happened, what you already reported, and the outcome you need. We tell you plainly whether we can build the matter into a case an agency will act on. We also tell you which agency that should be. No obligation.
- Preserve: We preserve accounts, devices, records, and communications before anything is lost. If you already filed a report, we obtain the report number and any agency correspondence.
- Investigate: We use forensics, open-source intelligence, financial tracing, and human intelligence as the case requires. That way, we close the gaps an agency would otherwise have to close itself.
- Articulate: We map the facts to the elements of the offense, identify the subject, and index the evidence. Then we write the referral package, preparing the legal framework with your counsel.
- Refer: We deliver the package to the right agency and unit, with a named Tactical Rabbit contact for follow-up. Where they help, we also file parallel regulatory complaints.
- Coordinate: We answer agency questions, provide supplemental analysis, and brief or testify as required. If the matter stalls, we advise on escalation.
Who We Work With
- Fraud victims and businesses: You lost money to business email compromise, a diverted wire, an investment scheme, or vendor fraud. Now you want a criminal case pursued alongside civil recovery. Cyber Fraud Investigations
- Individuals being harassed, extorted, or stalked: The conduct is criminal, and the evidence is on your phone. Yet the police treated it as a civil matter or a nuisance. We document it and, where the evidence supports it, identify the actor. Then we present it so the agency takes it seriously. Cyber Investigations
- Whistleblowers: You have evidence of wrongdoing inside an organization. You need it presented to the right agency safely, effectively, and in a form that protects you. Whistleblower Assistance
- Attorneys and their clients: You need a criminal referral that complements the civil case. It should include an evidence index and financial analysis counsel can rely on. Litigation Support
- Organizations facing insider theft or trade-secret misappropriation: A departing employee took data, a partner diverted funds, or supply-chain crime crosses jurisdictions. Now the matter belongs with a federal unit. However, that unit will not open it on a complaint alone. Trade Secret Theft & Insider Threat Protection
- Victims of crimes that crossed state or national borders: Local police lack jurisdiction, and you do not know which federal agency has it. We do.
Reported a crime and heard nothing back?
Evidence ages. Recall windows close. Subjects move money and change accounts. So the sooner we build a matter into a case, the better the odds an agency acts. Meanwhile, do not delete anything or confront anyone. And do not wait for a call that may not come.
Why Choose Tactical Rabbit for Law Enforcement Liaison

- A record that speaks for itself: Our Intelligence Director, Everett Stern, is the HSBC money-laundering whistleblower. His evidence moved regulators and prosecutors because he built it to be acted on. In addition, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, BBC, Reuters, and Forbes have reported on our work.

FAQ
What is law enforcement liaison?
Law enforcement liaison turns a crime you reported, or never reported, into a case an agency can act on. We investigate, build a referral package, and deliver it to the right unit. Then we stay engaged until the matter moves. We are not a law enforcement agency or a law firm.
The police told me my case is a civil matter. Is it?
Sometimes, but often that is a triage answer, not a legal one. Fraud, theft by deception, extortion, cyberstalking, and unauthorized computer access are crimes in every state. When a matter arrives as a dispute, an agency defaults to “civil.” That happens when no one mapped it to the elements of an offense. So we review the facts and identify the statutes that fit. Then we tell you whether a criminal referral is realistic.
Can you guarantee that an agency will open an investigation?
No. Tactical Rabbit is not a law enforcement agency and has no authority to open, direct, or compel any investigation. Whether an agency acts is its decision alone. However, we control the quality of what it receives and where it goes.
Which agency should my case go to?
That depends on the offense, the dollar amount, and where the parties and the money are. It also depends on which units are actively working that kind of crime. Choosing the recipient is part of the service. In fact, we often recommend parallel referrals to a criminal agency and a regulator.
I am a whistleblower. Is this the right service?
It is one of them. Our Whistleblower Assistance service covers protection, program eligibility, and strategy. Meanwhile, the liaison team handles the evidence package and delivers it to the agency. The two work together. Also, our Intelligence Director has been through the process himself.
Do you work with my attorney?
Yes. Where a referral involves a legal framework, a parallel civil action, or a whistleblower program, we coordinate with counsel. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice. You and your attorney decide how findings are used in a proceeding.
Will your investigators testify?
Yes. Our investigators and examiners are available to brief case agents and prosecutors and to testify where required. We write reports to evidentiary standards, with documented chain of custody.
Is the engagement confidential?
Yes. We scope every engagement in writing and handle it with discretion. Together with you, we decide what to share with an agency, and when.
What does it cost?
We scope and quote each engagement after a confidential intake. Before you commit, we tell you plainly whether a referral is likely to be worthwhile.
