POLICE CHAPLAIN
Purpose of the Lake Mills Police Chaplaincy Program
Sometimes police officers are called into situations where they sense a spiritual counselor would be helpful. Initial police assistance in those situations is important, but extended involvement keeps the officer away from other urgent calls of service. For this reason clergy from the Lake Mills area have joined forces with the Lake Mills City Police Department to provide a chaplains program.
The police chaplains program offers spiritual guidance and assistance to people in crisis situations. It also serves as a link of communications between people in crisis and their own spiritual advisors. If those who receive counseling ask for further help the chaplain will coordinate such follow-up guidance as is necessary.
Believing that God is the answer to man's dilemma, the chaplain stands ready to bear witness to the forgiving love and redeeming power of God to all people confronted with a crisis.
The police chaplain is to be an aid to the Lake Mills City Police Officers and the citizens of Lake Mills through a field service ministry, to provide spiritual guidance, counseling and comfort in times of crisis. With such physical help as chaplains are equipped to give on an emergency basis. This includes putting people in contact with the appropriate agencies to help them.
