The Arkansas Department of Public Safety, the Arkansas Division on Law Enforcement Standards and Training, and the Arkansas State Police worked together to organize a rigorous 40-hour training course to certify law enforcement chaplains.
The course focused on areas unique to first responders and families, such as responding to critical incidents and reducing stress and burnout.
“This program is about more than crisis response — it’s about building trust,” ASP Sergeant Chuck Lewis said. “Our chaplains walk beside officers and their families, offering spiritual grounding, leadership support, and a bridge to the local community. When officers feel seen, heard, and supported, they serve with greater strength and deeper purpose.”
Certified chaplains may begin to reach out to Arkansas law enforcement agencies as they begin their new service roles.
DPS also announced it is launching an initiative to train 100 peer-to-peer law enforcement officers statewide to improve chaplain services and provide free support to first responders.
