The Chaplain Programs creates a partnership with various faith-based leaders of a community to respond and assist law enforcement and other first responder agencies, providing an overall better quality to the citizens of cities and communities.
The goal is that by having First Responders (law enforcement, fire fighters, EMS) and Clergy working together during times of crisis or incidents, that a more comprehensive response will be given to those in need.
The role of the Chaplain is to be the ‘balancer.’ The Chaplain is to provide support for Police Officers, First Responders, other
agencies and civilians in their needs. Chaplains are there to provide appropriate assistance, advice, comfort, counsel and referrals to those in need who may request support.
The Chaplain Programs provides promotion, training, consultation and encouragement to chaplains, the law enforcement, first responder community and other agencies.
