A Police chaplain is a clergy person with a passionate interest in, and the specialized training for pastoral care in the dangerous world of law enforcement. This pastoral care is offered to all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, creed, or religion. It is offered without cost or proselytizing. The Police chaplain is led in his or her own faith to be available and ready to serve those in need. The chaplain's ministry provides a source of strength to the Police officers and their families, other department members, the community, and the incarcerated. Chaplains listen and participate in the workplace of Police officers with empathy and experience, advising calmly in the midst of turmoil and danger, and offering assistance when appropriate or requested.
