Ministry to the Police

Because Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is easily our biggest program (over 200,000 trainee-hours in the last 12 months) we sometimes don’t talk much about our other work. Other work includes pastoral counseling (individual and couples), remote training seminars, missionary member care, training materials production, and more.

One of the “And More” is our ministry to police and police trainees. This is a major ministry of one of our team, Chaplain Paul Tabon. He has been doing this for years. Sometimes it has been as a solo effort, and sometimes as part of a training activity for ministers. He is recognized as a life coach for the police.

We are looking into the possibility of expanding this work for CPE trainees. Possibly, this could be a part of a “fellowship”— a subspecialty in certified clinical chaplaincy. You will know more when we know more.

Below are a couple of pictures of Chaplain Paul working with criminology interns.
