See the Need
Law enforcement officers regularly encounter fatal accidents, violent crime, and domestic abuse, yet their resulting depression and stress often goes untreated due to the stigma around seeking support. The very independence, fortitude, and self-reliance that make a soul fit for law enforcement service, renders him or her more susceptible to its long-term effects.
See the Good
Chaplaincy is as crucial as it is uncomplicated. The call of the chaplain is simply the call to see the good. As volunteers who exist outside the command structure, yet hold themselves accountable to agency leadership, chaplains are uniquely positioned to lead by example. In every situation, in every crisis, in every moment, chaplains are there solely to support without judgment, to normalize positivity and resilience, and to be a reminder of the goodness and humanity that can be obscured in times of extremity.
