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.
