The Chaplain's Role

There is a very real need today to understand the demands upon the law enforcement family, and how to minister to their specific needs. These needs will be addressed from a practical, Chaplain perspective. A Chaplain generally is a clergy person with specialized training dealing with people in areas of grief and trauma, and within their specific field or industry i.e. hospitals, military, law enforcement, etc. Pastors and other ministers that work in this field are traditionally given the title “Chaplain” This book discusses many general topics surrounding chaplaincy, but it is specifically designed for those working with first responders—more specifically, law enforcement. Within these pages you will find tools you can use to work with law enforcement in a ministry role. This book can be used as a “how to” guide for chaplains. It details out how to really make a difference in your community in times of crisis; and how to come alongside law enforcement in such a way as to be an asset to them.
