The Program currently consists of 144 local, volunteer, Chaplains throughout the United States that serve our Special Agents, Uniform Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement Officers, and Administrative, Professional, and Technical personnel, and their families, during times of personal and professional need, National Special Security Events, and during catastrophic events. Volunteer Chaplains provide supportive care for employees and their immediate family members in times of need. Chaplains may help to provide for the spiritual, personal, and social needs of the individual in support of the goals and objectives of the Chaplain Program, including offering spiritual insight and perspectives on personal and professional struggles associated with the risks implicit in the law enforcement culture.
