Miami Gardens Police Seek Volunteers for Chaplain Program

The Miami Gardens Police Department's Chaplain Program seeks volunteers to offer 24-hour support during critical incidents. Chaplains provide guidance, counseling and crisis intervention to department employees and the public.

The program also serves police personnel's families and traumatized individuals within the community upon request. Chaplains offer compassionate care and intervention to those affected by critical incidents.

To become a police chaplain, applicants must be Florida residents, ordained or licensed clergy members, and have no prior criminal convictions or offenses involving moral turpitude. Candidates must submit a resume and three letters of recommendation. The Police Chief makes the final candidate approval.

Interested individuals can obtain a Volunteer Chaplain application from the department. The program relies on dedicated volunteers to support the police department and the Miami Gardens community during challenging times.
