The tasks of a police chaplain
The European Police Chaplaincy Association is a community of dedicated civilians, police officers and security personnel who are committed to serving the community and providing spiritual care to police officers. Our mission is to provide supportive and spiritual counselling for those who serve in the public safety community as well as for victims of crime.
In addition, we promote and train international military chaplains.
What do we offer?

Two training paths
- A compact 6-month course for basic training.
- A comprehensive 1.5-year programme for more in-depth knowledge and skills.
- It is an online hybrid degree programme.

Recognised diplomas
Upon successful completion, you will receive an official diploma confirming your qualification as a police chaplain. The Swiss Bildungsinstitut Bern is our partner.

Spiritual and practical support:
Support during and after the training programme from experienced mentors and a strong community.
- A strong community:
- Become part of a committed and supportive group of people working for the good of society.
- Professional development
- Training to become a police chaplain opens up new professional opportunities and promotes your personal and spiritual development.
- Make an impact: Actively support those who ensure our safety and make a valuable contribution to society.
You can apply from the age of 22. Our organisation is open to anyone who belongs to a Christian church or works in security. Together we can achieve great things!
