English term or phrase: call the suits
Seorang detektif lari bersama wanita yang dia lindungi, dan menolak kembali ke markasnya karena dia tak tahu lagi siapa yang dia percaya, sehingga membuat atasannya marah. Pada si atasan dia berkata:

-You should call the suits.
-We don't need the goddamn suits!

Apa ya artinya 'call the suits' di sini?

thanks.

Explanation:
In films, one also sees members of the FBI referred to as “the suits,” by members of local police departments. Arrival of the suits is often depicted as resented because it usually means that local police involvement is either ended or directed by the FBI.
