| Sheriff's Chaplaincy Program |
| The
program is a Volunteer Police Chaplaincy program. The chaplains serve
the department on a rotational on call status. They may ride along with
the deputies whenever they have the opportunity. The Chaplains respond
to crime scenes at the request of the department. Several of the
Chaplains are trained in the Mitchell Model to do Critical Incident Peer
Debriefings. They will respond to officers that are involved in crisis
situations to help reduce the Post Traumatic Stress that follows
critical incidents if unchecked. The chaplains are getting ready to
begin a training program within the department to be better prepared
them to assist the officers in the field if required and to better
understand what it means to be a Law Enforcement Officer in the
community.
If you would like more information about our Chaplaincy program or would like to contact a chaplain, please call (803) 576-3057. We are proud of our Chaplains and many seek out their guidance. Click on picture for short bio of each chaplain. |
