For those of you working in larger agencies and fighting this battle (as I did successfully) a huge factor is whether you have any other employees of the department allowed to do forensic work. Do your pathologists consult on the side? Do your crime lab folks testify as to toxicology? Questioned documents? Blood spatter analysis? etc? If so you MAY have an argument of the agency discriminating against your efforts. This was one of several flags I waved and we were able to convince my agency to allow it with the standard avoid conflicts of interest language. Obtain your state and federal case law on conflict of interest and then agree to follow it to the letter.
