In this context, to play a role means the function someone performs within a group. Or you could look at it like the job they do.
For example in football (soccer) the goal keeper plays the role of protecting the goal. Other players perform a defensive or offensive role. The referee plays the role of making sure the players play by the rules.
to play any role we can [play] using federal resources
(the second word play is not needed)

The city and state are primarily responsible for finding out what happened. The federal government is offering help in any way that might be needed.
