The purpose of the course is to share our burden of reaching those in law enforcement and corrections for the Lord Jesus Christ and to equip our students for this work. To reach these men and women, one has to understand the world in which they live.
This course enables you to learn about that intriguing arena in which they work.
Last semester we had a number of guest speakers from different aspects of police work such as forensics and crime scene investigation, command staff, a chaplain from the California Highway Patrol, and many others. We even had a patrol car available for the class to learn how to use the radio and other pieces of emergency equipment in case there is a problem on a ride along.
Captain Ken Gillespie of the Pomona Police Department takes time out of his busy scheudle to address last semester’s class about the field of law enforcement.
Another aspect of the class is that you will have the opportunity to view an autopsy on DVD. One student asked, “Why do we need to see such a presentation?” My answer was, “How will you respond at the scend of a gruesome accident if you have never witnessed fatal human trauma ahead of time?” During an especially bad call, it is important that the Field Chaplain be an asset to the officer, not a liability. Field Chaplains need to be exposed to these types of things before they are placed in a position where they are depended upon for emotional strength.
“As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others.” -Charles Spurgeon
We had seven students for our Fall Semeser of 2007 and five students in the block class held May 12th – 16th of 2008. Here are some of the comments they made.

“I wanted to share with you the tremendous job you have done with the Biblical Chaplaincy Class. In forty years of preaching I was unaware of the needed mission field right in our own back yards. All of us are impacted in one way or another by law enforcement. You have brought that awareness to our churches as well as the need of Biblical Law Enforcement Chaplains. Your desire, expertise and burden for this type of ministry must be made aware to all our churches. I am asking the Lord to give you at least one person from each church to take this program. The local church, the community and especially law enforcement personal will benefit. As you have taught us, law enforcement personal face many struggles, burdens and pressures that only Christ can address. We have the answer; we have the Word. Now all we need is more men to take up the call from each church to do their part.
Thanks again for opening our eyes and hearts to this much needed ministry. Each black and white we see is a mission field and waiting for God’s servant to minister to them. Keep up the great work.” - Pastor Dennis Chapman
Chaplain Tom Jones of the La Habra Police Department made the following statements:
“My name is Tom Jones and I’m a Chaplain with a local police department, I have been working with law enforcement for approximately nine years as a Chaplain in an unofficial capacity for a couple of departments and two years officially for another. However, my knowledge of how to treat several of the many afflictions that officers face or encounter on a daily basis needed improvement, and I thought I would find what I needed in the Chaplain training program they offered. I was not disappointed.
I have gained so much through this program and have added new tools to my proverbial tool belt as it were and have found this program to be very valuable to my (God’s) ministry. I would highly recommend this course if you have a heart for police officers or simply want to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the inmates, then you need to take this course. Don’t try to wing it, make a wise decision and take the path that God has prepared for you. Many man hours have been put into this program and the blessings of God have been on their efforts. God created this program to give all who desire a ministry as a Chaplain the opportunity to learn from Chaplains that been tried and tested and successful in their ministries. God put this program here for a reason and that reason is so we can learn from other godly men that have been in the battle fighting for the souls of police officers and inmates that otherwise might not hear the gospel and perish.”
