He has also been known to contact Sherlock Holmes when he feels out of his depth on many different cases.

Lestrade has been shown to be somewhat close to Holmes, and will often call him to help investigate any cases that Lestrade feels are too difficult for him to solve.
He also shows a great deal of respect for Holmes, and has defended him in-front of many members of Scotland Yard.

Lestrade is as equally close to Watson, and has also called for Watson's medical and psychological expertise in the past.
