OCCI Office of Chaplains Details
Chaplains serve out of their faith and call; however, Chaplaincy is not about the Chaplain's faith. It is about the faith or no-faith to those whom the Chaplains serve. Chaplains often serve in situations when their regular clergy are unavailable. Chaplains provide a holy space for people who are in pain, trauma, crisis, and conflict. Chaplains stand with human beings as they encounter some of the most trying times of their lives. Chaplains assist in bridging the gap between the mundane and the sacred.Chaplains serve in a variety of environments including (but not limited to):Police DepartmentsSheriff Departments (Chaplains to those incarcerated in local and county jails, state penitentiaries, federal penitentiaries, etc.)Fire DepartmentsEMS DepartmentsFederal Law Enforcement Agencies (FBI, Secret Service, etc.)Federal Agencies not necessarily law enforcement (CIA, NSA, etc.)Trauma CentersAirport ChaplainsState Chaplain Response TeamsCritical Incident TeamsHospitalsNursing HomesHospices and Palliative Care ProgramsIndustry (i.e. Corporate Chaplains, etc.)Military
