BY FATHER MICHAEL REDDEN
(Assistant Pastor of Holy Family Church; Ass’t.
Chaplain to Georgia Association of Police Chiefs;
Volunteer Chaplain to Atlanta Bureau of Police and
Fulton County Police.)
The vocation of a police officer is also
people; to protect, to serve, to help them in
an emergency. Usually they are people in
trouble, unable to cope with their own
problems, unable to follow the laws of
society, unable to live in peace and harmony.
They are the people a police officer meets.
Police officers and clergymen have similar
vocations. They both serve people and by
combining forces are better able to serve their
community.
Many police departments have recognized
this and have started chaplaincy programs that
serve the needs of people in our growing,
complex society. We here in the State of
Georgia have a number of such programs
scattered throughout the different counties.
With every new program comes a need
for knowledge and direction on how to do the
job well and thanks to Monsignor Don
Kiernan, that is how the Georgia Association
of Police Chaplains came into being.
A large number of police chaplains from all
over the state came together in the Holiday
Inn at Gainsville to seek the necessary
knowledge and direction on how to do the job
well. These men, along with representing
different police departments, also represented
religions: Catholic, Methodist, Baptist,
Lutheran, and Episcopalian - (how’s that for
ecumenism in action?)
AN OPENING TALK was given by our
own Archbishop on “An Administrator Looks
at the work of a Chaplain”. In his talk one
point came across very, very clearly
AVAILABILITY. The chaplain needs to be
continually available to those he serves.
Chaplain Larry Parker from Hapeville
spoke on his experience as a chaplain and
reminded us that we are not policemen but
representatives of God’s word, kindness and
understanding.
Chief Ray Pope, Jackson, Miss., spoke on
“The Chief and His Chaplain” and told us that
all too often people leave God out of their
lives for too long for no reason other than
there was no one to remind them of the fact.
A long time was spent on discussing a
constitution for the association. This
discussion was chaired very well by Monsignor
R. Donald Kiernan, the Reverend Frank
Kirlangitis (Chatham County), the Reverend
Frank Wade (Garden City) and Father O’Brien
(Savannah).
In the evening an acceptable constitution
was drawn up and accepted by all present. So
now we have a Georgia Association of Police
Chaplains, that is affiliated with the Georgia
Association of Police Chiefs, and the
International Conference of Police Chaplains.
The object and aims of the association are:
to serve those selected or appointed to serve
as police chaplains of the several law
enforcement agencies and associations and to
collect, study, standardize, summarize and to
disseminate factual data for the purpose of
promoting the professionalism of the police
chaplaincy program of the state.
Duties of a Police Chaplain
As part of the Chaplains official duties
with the Department he will serve, the
Chaplain is expected to perform the following
taste and other such duties that may be
requested of him by the Chief of Police:
1) Assist Department Officials in making
notification to families of officers receiving
serious injury or upon death.
2) When officers are seriously injured or
have died, respond to hospital emergency
room on request and identify himself to the
hospital staff and work with staff according to
common ethical courtesies.
3) Visit sick and injured police personnel at
home or in the hospital.
4) Attend and participate in funerals of
active as well as retired members of the
Department.
5) Be on call on the street during any
major demonstration in your city or any
public function requiring the presence of a
large number of police officers.
6) Upon request of any officer you may
counsel him or her with personal problems.
7) Conduct memorial services and religious
activities.
8) Participate in orientation of recruits.
9) Present formal lectures at the Police
Academy.
10) Participate in “in-service” training
classes.
11) Attend roll calls.
12) Attend department graduation,
promotions, award ceremonies, dinners, social
events, etc., and participate therein in keeping
with religious administrations.
13) Represent the department before
official bodies upon request.
14) Public relations efforts.
15) Provide liaison with other religious
leaders in the community.
16) Respond to all major disasters;
bombings; building collapses; explosions;
airplane crashes; multiple alarms of fire;
unusual industrial accidents and other
disasters.
Following the Conference, Monsignor
Kiernan of Atlanta was elected President; the
Reverend Frank Kirlangitis of Savannah was
elected Vice President; Father Frank O’Brien
of Savannah was elected Treasurer, and the
Reverend Larry Parker of Hapeville was
elected Secretary.
Over 50 Police Chaplains were present
representing Departments from Atlanta,
Fulton County, Savannah, Hapeville,
Waynesboro, Marietta, Powder Springs,
Lawrenceville, Garden City, Brunswick,
Valdosta and Albany.
