252	252	9 the family. The lead investigator has discretion over any
253	253	10 information shared with the family and shall communicate
254	254	11 with the family liaison accordingly. If the family liaison
255	255	12 officer is contacted by the family regarding an open case
256	256	13 at any time, the family liaison officer shall return the
257	257	14 call within 5 business days with all relevant information
