Inside the Lines, Outside the Box
ICPC chaplains serve at your pleasure and answer to you, the agency head. But, as dedicated volunteers or vocational personnel who sit outside the normal chain of command, they are your special resources to address the often delicate, personal challenges your team faces with accountability and discretion.
ICPC for New and Renewed Programs
Starting a chaplaincy can seem daunting. ICPC simplifies the process with expert guidance tailored to your agency’s needs. From identifying suitable candidates to establishing clear protocols, we help you lay a foundation for success. Our training ensures chaplains are equipped with the skills to support your officers and their families with professionalism and compassion.
Even the best chaplaincy programs can benefit from growth and refinement. ICPC provides advanced training opportunities, resources, and credentialing to enhance chaplain effectiveness. Our expertise helps agencies expand the chaplain’s role, deepen the chaplains accountability, and introduce innovative practices that galvanize trust and resilience within your team.
Called to Serve
When you partner with ICPC, you gain more than a program—you gain a staunch ally; relationally, practically, and spiritually committed to your success. This is more than a job for us, just like it's more than a job for you. Together, we ensure chaplains provide the professional, compassionate care that officers and their families deserve. Whether your goal is to launch a chaplaincy or enhance an existing one, ICPC stands ready to support you at every step.
Among other duties, chaplains:
- • Offer emotional, relational, and spiritual care to officers, families, and communities.
- • Assist with crisis response, including death notifications and victim support.
- • Normalize wellness practices, reducing stigma around mental health.
- • Build trust through presence, ride-alongs, and confidentiality.
- • Help officers process trauma and regain strength to serve.
