Police Cadets<br />
Police Cadets are instrumental in assisting our patrol <strong>of</strong>ficers and civilian staff in providing a safe and secure<br />
environment for our community to live and work. They also support the patrol <strong>of</strong>ficers as directed and assist<br />
with supervision <strong>of</strong> our student worker groups. This is an incredible learning opportunity for them as they<br />
prepare their career lives.<br />

Police Chaplain<br />
No one is confronted with more situations that demoralize and create emotional,<br />
mental and spiritual burdens than today's law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficer. These burdens<br />
not only affect the <strong>of</strong>ficer and other members <strong>of</strong> his or her department but also<br />
affect the <strong>of</strong>ficer's family. Law enforcement agencies need the specialized<br />
guidance, counseling and assistance for their <strong>of</strong>ficers, families and communities<br />
that a police chaplain can provide.<br />
Chaplains listen and participate in the workplace <strong>of</strong> law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficers with<br />
empathy and experience, calmly advising in the midst <strong>of</strong> turmoil and danger, and<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering assistance when appropriate or requested. Chaplain Fleming has been<br />
with our agency since 2007.<br />
Pastor Fleming regularly gives the invocation at the Police Memorial service in May. He is a member <strong>of</strong> the<br />
International Association <strong>of</strong> Police Chaplains and continues to make himself available to <strong>of</strong>ficers on a regular basis.<br />
