New law enforcement chaplaincy in eastern Idaho
From Rett Nelson, EastIdahoNews.com:
“Community chaplains are kind of the entry-level chaplain. Once you’re vetted and accepted you’d receive some training,” Rupp says. “Once they go through the first stage of being a community chaplain, they could receive extra training to become a law enforcement chaplain.”
Law Enforcement chaplains would work with officers who have been involved in a shooting or other traumatic event.
The chaplain’s job would not include proselyting for a specific denomination, Rupp says, but they would be able to provide spiritual guidance if the person or officer requested it.
