Chaplin Program
The Reedley Police Chaplain Division began
in August 1996 and offers guidance and assistance to people
in crisis situations. It also serves as a link of communication
between people in crises and their own spiritual advisors.
Chaplain Sam Estes has been our Department Chaplain since
the inception of the Chaplain Program.
The Police Chaplain is appointed by the Chief of Police
to be an aid to the Reedley Police Officers and the people
of Reedley, to provide spiritual guidance, counseling and
comfort in times of crisis.
Without attempting to moralize, evangelize, proselytize
or criticize, the Police Chaplain strives to be a particularly
close friend to the officer.
The Police Chaplain is aware of the fact that the Police
Officer's job is an extremely difficult one, being constantly
in the presence of danger and under constant pressure and
tension. So the Police Chaplain strives to create such a
relationship with the officer that he would feel free to
turn to him for counseling at any time.
The Chaplain rides frequently with the officers on patrol
and is on call at all times to assist in those cases where
his counsel and advice might be helpful.
Likewise he is available to the officer's family and to
all who are associated in any way with the Police Department.
He is never "pushy" but he is always there to listen
to the problems and the concerns within the department and
to share the grief's, sorrows. and the joys, both individually
and collectively.
All personal counseling sessions between the Chaplains and
employees are privileged communications, and as such, are
CONFIDENTIAL. No information regarding any counseling session,
including the fact that it occurred, are ever released to
any department member. The Chaplain is on duty 24 hours a
day. His time is completely donated as a service to the community.
Personal Message :
If you want favor with both God and man, then trust the
Lord completely.
He will direct you and make you successful.
Prov. 3:5-6
