Purpose
- Support Sheriff's Office personnel and their families in time of need with strict confidence and compassion
- Serve as a communication link between persons in crisis and their own spiritual advisors
- Coordinate follow-up counseling for those indicating both a need and an interest in such help
Chaplains lighten the burden by assisting, when requested, in the performance of tasks which tend to have a greater emotional and/or spiritual, rather than legal implication, e.g.:
- Death messages
- Domestic disturbances
- Fires
- Health trauma issues
- Spiritual counseling requests
- Suicide calls
