Police Chaplain Project digitally captures and shares the wisdom of America's police chaplains.
We invite police chaplains come in, sit down, look directly into the camera and share their story.
Since the program first started in 2008, we have criss-crosses America conducting in-depth video conversations more than 120 police chaplains.
Once collected the content is shared online, creating a one-of-a-kind digital resource for members of the law enforcement community.
Police Chaplain Project’s growing archive includes some of the most accomplished police chaplains of the past 50 years.
All content is eventually archived for future generations of chaplains and historians as a part of the Police Chaplain Archive, a permanent online repository.
“The hard-earned wisdom of America’s police chaplains is no longer lost, we play it forward to enrich future generations of chaplains.”
Police chaplains are essential to the spiritual survival of police officers and their families,
It’s time to stop and listen to what they have to say.
A few years back, a group of us established the Police Chaplain Project.
We invite police chaplains come in, sit down, look directly into the camera and share their story.
Police chaplains hold this country together.
To date, the Police Chaplain Project has conducted more that 125 on-camera interviews
For those in grief, simply listening to a police chaplain offers a path forward.
Welcome to ChaplainUSA.
We are a small organization with a big impact.
We do something no other organization does.
We capture the wisdom of police chaplains and share it in ways that improve the lives of police officers and their families.
Here’s the truth: No one in America life better understands the spiritual needs of a police officer than a police chaplain.
“After every mass shooting, natural disaster, line-of-duty death – it is a police chaplain who police officers turn to for spiritual support.
If you support police officers, consider supporting our efforts.”
Thank you.
Established in 2008, by veteran police chaplain David Fair and media producer Phillip LeConte, the Police Chaplain Project has conducted over 100 interviews with police chaplains across the country.
The project has been an opportunity for both Fair and LeConte to reveal an aspect of America rarely seen or heard.
“Police chaplains are essential to the spiritual survival of police officers and their families,” said co-founder Chaplain David Fair, ”yet few citizens are familiar with the vital role they play. The Police Chaplain Project is changing all that.”
Co-founder and videographer for the project, Phillip LeConte, hopes the content’s civility connects with viewers. “Chaplains invest language with a grace that is immediately distinguishable from most of what we hear through the media,” said LeConte. “It’s been my great honor to add their compelling voice to the national conversation and to our digital legacy.”
Police Chaplain Project would not be possible without the support of chaplains and community leaders across the country.
Below is a partial, certainly not complete list of these extraordinary men and women.
