Patrol Chaplains Help the Police department by

Building a sense of community

Patrol Chaplains have the unique position to interact with and influence kids. They help create positive relationships between the community and the police department.

Supporting our Law Enforcement officers

Patrol Chaplains are also available to Fresno Police Department officers as a confidential listening ear, offering counsel and resources to assist with the emotional hazards of being in law enforcement.

Helping Fresno families during times of crises

Patrol Chaplains offer immediate care and comfort during a crisis. They also follow up on nonviolent domestic disturbance calls, providing counsel and educational resources to help stop the cycle of abuse.

They also compassionately deliver death notifications to next of kin, providing comfort, emotional support and grief resources.
