NEW: Region 7 Regional Training Seminar Scholarships
Your Region 7 leadership teams is happy to announce that we have a scholarship fund to help Region 7 chaplains attend one of our Regional Training Seminars.
This Scholarship is named after Chaplains Jack & Phyllis Poe. They dedicated their many years of law enforcement chaplaincy the fine officers and citizens of the Oklahoma City, OK area. In addition to responding to multiple tragedies, they had the OK City bombing in their own back yard. Jack & Phyllis know the importance of properly trained Chaplains and want to help some worthy chaplains get that needed education.

What Law Enforcement Chaplains Do?
Law enforcement chaplains provide spiritual support and encouragement as needed to officers and their families, helping them deal with the pressures of life and their profession. In addition, chaplains provide spiritual support and comfort to members of their community who are in crisis. Chaplains often respond to death scenes, accidents, or any incident where an officer thinks a chaplain can bring comfort or assistance to someone dealing with a difficult or tragic situation. Chaplains frequently deliver death notifications alongside officers, assisting families by providing emotional support or spiritual guidance during what can be some of the worst moments of their lives.
