Law Enforcement Chaplaincy
Serving the Officers and Families of the Law Enforcement Community
Our Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Team is comprised of dedicated ordained and liscensed ministers. Each applicant undergoes a comprehensive background investigation and must fulfill a rigorous training program. Qualified Chaplains then continue to receive regular monthly training in a broad range of subjects related to Law Enforcement and crisis response issues. A partial list of our training subjects include:
Critical Incident Stress Management
Crisis Counseling
Death Notifications
Officer Involved Shootings/Post-Shooting
Trauma
Line of Duty Deaths
Homicides
Corner Cases
Child Abuse
Suicide Intervention and Post-vention
Grief and Bereavement
Ethics
"Our chaplains are a necessary part of what enables my staff to do their jobs with greater skill and compassion. Often, deputies or police will arrive on scene and call upon chaplains to care for the victims of tragedies and crime, freeing law enforcement to do their job of investigation and patrol. The chaplain’s presence allows my deputies to know that compassionate assistance is not only available, but will remain long after they return to their duty."
Sheriff Ed Bonner
