POLICE CHAPLAIN PROGRAM

The Eastampton Township Police Department proudly established a Police Chaplain Program in 2019 to serve and support the Police Department and the Township residents. The program is a partnership with faith-based community leaders to provide spiritual guidance and counseling during traumatic events or incidents.  

Police Chaplains respond to counsel, assist and support victims and others touched by critical incidents and crises, including death notifications and other traumatic events. Police Chaplains are specially trained to handle crisis situations and also provide follow-up counseling, group debriefings and individual intervention. Police Chaplains are trained to minister to people of all faiths.

Police Chaplains are non-paid volunteers, and as such all chaplaincy services are provided at no cost to individuals, families or the department.
