Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at SPDChaplain@spokanecity.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic experience for families and friends. Police Officers responding to such calls also experience their own emotions and challenges. It's critical in the immediate hours around a death and for the eventual healing process, to have someone come alongside families and police to offer emotional, spiritual, and physical guidance and support.
That's where Spokane Police Chaplains come in. They assist police officers responding to murders, suicides, and accidental deaths by meeting with family members and others at the scene who may be in shock and/or dealing with grief, anger, and heartache.
In 2024, SPD's team of Chaplains responded to 578 calls for service in the community, providing comfort, compassion and guidance to families and individuals experiencing tragedy and loss.
The Spokane Police Chaplaincy Program is comprised of two full-time chaplains and 20 volunteers. Many of them are retired pastors and ministers. All of them have a heart for service and a guiding faith.
