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.

We are proud of our Chaplains and many seek out their guidance.
