When a local officer on release time attends BCTF Committee or working group meetings, the Federation reimburses the local for the cost of a replacement. This applies to participation in advisory committees, task forces, ad hoc groups, focus groups, mediation, Judicial Council, Peer Support, and research projects. Please complete the Request for Local Released Officer Replacement Cost form.
