Justifiably, agency officials react with strident alarm if RACES people are called out without jurisdictional authority, or if non-RACES operators (for example, ARES-only members not co- registered in a RACES unit) are called out in a RACES situation.
Of even deeper concern by agency officials is the Radio Officer who can't discern one from the other, and confuses the call-up, causing embarrassment to an official or the jurisdiction; exceeding authority or creating liability problems for administrators. Once 'burned', such officials can become reluctant or refuse to utilize the unit again.
