The Placer County Law Enforcement Chaplaincy is a field service ministry incorporated in 1986. It serves both the members of Law Enforcement and their families, and works through Law Enforcement to act as victims advocates to the citizens of Placer County. The Chaplaincy continually provides the service of trained, critical incident Chaplains on a 24 hour / 7 day a week basis, with both proactive and reactive responses. We serve a combination of 10 agencies at 14 locations including City, County, and State agencies. 

Ride-Alongs - Patrol Officers and Detectives.  Visitations - All agencies, sworn and non-sworn alike.  Backup Resources - List of current available resources.  Weddings - Including pre-marital counseling. Training - Related law enforcement topics.

Crisis Response - Emergency callouts on a 24hr / 7day a week basis.  Crisis Intervention - Mediation or intervention for suicide attempts or threats. Death Notifications - "On call" to assist all agencies as necessary.  Counseling Services - For Law Enforcement families (job, marriage, family, stress).  Funeral or Memorial Services.  Critical Incident Stress Debriefing - To all first responders.  Visitation - To sick or injured Officers or their family members.

The PCLEC also utilizes a Corps of Volunteer Chaplains. These Chaplains are Ordained ministers who go through a specialized FTO program and receive training in a variety of topics like Death Notifications, Crime Scene Logistics, Ride-Along Procedures, Bloodborne / Airborne pathogens, and suicides, to name but a few.
Each Chaplain attends a monthly training seminar, rides a shift in a patrol car, and writes a monthly report. 

PCLEC Chaplains attend regional and national training seminars sanctioned by the International Conference of Police Chaplains, and are "certified" by them as either Basic, Senior, or Master level Chaplains.
