Pilot Program Proposal

Volunteer Police Chaplaincy – Springfield, Massachusetts

1. Introduction

This document proposes the implementation of a pilot volunteer police chaplaincy program in Springfield, Massachusetts. The program aims to provide spiritual, emotional, and moral support to police officers, their families, and, when needed, the broader community. It will complement existing employee assistance services within the police department.

2. Justification

Police officers face high levels of stress, trauma, and emotional challenges. Many departments in Massachusetts, including the Massachusetts State Police, already benefit from chaplaincy services. A pilot program in Springfield will provide measurable insight into the positive impact such a service can have locally.

3. Program Objectives

- Provide emotional and spiritual support to Springfield Police Department officers and staff.
- Assist with crisis response, including death notifications and community emergencies.
- Strengthen the relationship between the Police and the community through participation in civic events.
- Offer a confidential, volunteer-based, and cost-free service to the Department.

4. Pilot Program Structure

- Initial duration: 12 months (evaluation at the end of the period).
- Initial team: 3–5 volunteer chaplains of diverse faith backgrounds, coordinated by a Lead Chaplain.
- Main functions:
  • Counseling and emotional support.
  • Presence during crises and emergencies.
  • Participation in official ceremonies and community events.
  • On-call availability at the Department’s request.

5. Volunteer Chaplain Requirements

- Recommendation letter from their church or religious institution.
- Successful background check.
- Training in crisis intervention (e.g., Critical Incident Stress Management).
- Willingness to participate in basic police orientation and emergency response training.

6. Benefits for the Springfield Police Department

- Enhanced officer wellness and resilience.
- Stronger emotional and spiritual support network.
- Improved trust and connection between police and the community.
- Cost-effective program, with no financial burden on the Department.

7. Program Evaluation

At the end of the 12-month period, an evaluation report will be submitted including:
- Number of chaplain interventions conducted.
- Community activities and events attended.
- Feedback from officers and families.
- Recommendations for making the program permanent.

8. Conclusion

The Chaplain Ministry in Action – Volunteers in Police Service pilot program provides Springfield Police with a valuable and confidential support service. By addressing spiritual, emotional, and community needs, volunteer chaplains will help strengthen resilience among officers and build trust with the community.


Sincerely,
