We can assume something more sensible was done before the LEs landed on that field, yet odds are it wasn't, due to the simple fact they did land on the field. Are the odds worth playing that this was not their first resort as to whom was to blame? Go for it if you like and get all the info of how it was handled, then let us know.
If I am wrong about the local LEs, I will retract any of my statements that may have been in error.
My point, which you still don't understand, was based solely on your post and attitude towards the situation. They're LE, they're doing their job. You think they really need to call ahead to schedule an appointment with a bunch of guys at the flying field so they're not interrupted during their flight with an R/C aircraft or while they're having coffee and donuts.
That's how life works, you can never predict when LE is going to visit so it's always a good idea for a club and its members to be prepared not only on how to deal with the situation, but also how to capitalize on an opportunity to make the most of the situation to educate LE about the club, its operations, and contact information. Of course, cop an attitude, tell LE they're all wrong, and maybe, just maybe, you'll get an unwelcoming return visit.
