Hello,

Would you connect me with the office of the Chief of Police (or Sheriff)?

[When you reach the Chief/Sheriff's office]

Thank you for taking my call.  I am a resident of __________________ and I'm calling to ask about the processing of rape evidence kits. 

I would like to know how long it takes to get rape evidence kits tested, and also the number of kits that are currently backlogged and waiting to be tested. 

[If there is a backlog] I'm sorry to hear that there is a backlog.  Can you tell me by what date you expect to have the backlog completely eliminated?

[Be polite but persistent in getting to someone who can provide this information, and be sure to get the name of the person providing the information]
