We are to love our neighbor as ourselves, and that includes those who protect and serve our communities. A Law Enforcement Chaplain provides an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who put their lives on the line for us every day. It is a way for us to say thank you for your service by doing everything you can to ensure that these brave men and women have the resources they need to have emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy lives.

The need is great and the laborers are few
LE Chaplains provide invaluable support for LEO's and their families. Law enforcement is a high-stress job that has severe consequences for an officer's physical, mental, and spiritual health. Current statistics show a higher-than-average percentage of health and emotional issues due to the profession. Exposure to traumatic events has a negative impact on an officer's ability to do their job, and can lead to problems in their personal life.
