Although it's been shown in the past that Ray has an extensive list of contacts and favor-owers, here he requests the aid of someone (Riskin) who has already repaid the favor in full, rather than call upon someone still indebted. Apparently Ray either has no more contacts in the LA police, or has used them all up.
It's possible that of his contacts, Ray considered Riskin to be the individual best situated to help him with the specific goal he had in mind. He does make clear he considers this to be a new transaction, and that it is a request, and not meant to be a doubled calling in of the one favor.
