Please review the Investigation Procedures Manual DPR sent out as an enclosure to ENF 05-27 so the training exercises and scenarios will help you further understand the newly updated policies and procedures in this manual.

If you have any further questions, please contact your Enforcement Branch Liaison.

Sincerely,
