Our Mission
Helping First Responders' Spirits. Soul. Body. Clergy & Police exists to help first responders and their families through life's most difficult times, both in person and online, where crises and public pressure frequently occur. Those who work in law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and other public safety roles frequently put themselves in harm's way to protect others. We ensure that they—and the families who support them—are never left to face a crisis, trauma, or hardship alone. How We Help Spirit • Hope-centered care based on faith • Presence during times of crisis and loss • Encouragement, prayer, and spiritual stability Soul • Emotional support for stress, trauma, and life disruption • Digital support for social media pressure, online incidents, and misinformation • Guidance during times of public scrutiny and emotional overload Body • Practical assistance during critical incidents • Support after injury, illness, or loss They frequently continue online, where incidents are magnified, emotions run high, and families bear the burden of public scrutiny. Clergy & Police fills the gap by providing dependable care that boosts resilience and restores stability.
What Makes Clergy & Police UNIGUE
Clergy & Police functions as a bridge between first responders and faith-based partners, helping ensure that care and support are offered in ways that are appropriate, trusted, and well coordinated. Rather than replacing existing chaplaincy or pastoral relationships, Clergy & Police helps align the faith community with the real-world needs and boundaries of public safety.
Unlike disaster relief organizations that primarily serve the general public, Clergy & Police focuses on strengthening the connection between public safety agencies and trusted faith-based partners. By serving as a bridge, we help reduce confusion, duplication, and well-intended but misaligned efforts, ensuring that support is timely, appropriate, and welcomed.
A defining element of our work is helping faith-based partners understand the public and digital pressures faced by first responders and their families. As critical incidents increasingly unfold in public and online spaces, Clergy & Police helps guide supportive engagement that is steady, informed, and mindful of added stress created by social media exposure.
