Kristi Baker
Deputy Senior Chaplain
Chaplain Kristi has been with the Placer County Chaplaincy since 2009, first as a volunteer Community Chaplain, then as a Law Enforcement Chaplain. During this time she was a small business owner, Women’s Bible Study Leader, and a Group Fitness Instructor. When PCLEC had an opening for the Deputy Sr. Chaplain, she sold her business, continued teaching Bible Studies and joined the PCLEC on a full-time basis. Kristi is married to her husband of 47 years, and has 3 children, and 2 grandchildren.
Our Mission
We provide spiritual, mental & emotional support to the Law Enforcement Community, their families, and the citizens of Placer County.
PCLEC continually provides the service of trained, critical incident chaplains on a 24 hour, 7 days a week basis. This vital Chaplaincy program is comprised of a team of specially trained individuals who volunteer their time to help and serve others. All of our Chaplains are trained to lend a helping hand to every person, without regard to religious preference (including no preference), and are frequently requested to contact pastors, priests, rabbis and other religious leaders to assist families.
