Why Join ICPC?
Membership in the International Conference of Police Chaplains (ICPC) affords the law enforcement chaplain a professional standing in the largest and most respected law enforcement chaplaincy organization in the world. Established in 1973, the ICPC offers the chaplain the ability to network with chaplains worldwide. Departments all over the world have recognized the ICPC as the standard in law enforcement chaplaincy today.
When you join the ICPC, you become part of a large family of chaplains who desire to learn, share, and support each other through this vital ministry. Nobody knows or appreciates what you do more than someone else who does it. We want to provide the best training, support and care we can to our front- line law enforcement chaplains, while assisting them in making their existing programs better and stronger.
The International Conference of Police Chaplains offers chaplains worldwide the ability to attend regional and international training seminars. Currently there are seventeen regional and one international training seminars where chaplains may attend and work towards three levels of training (basic, senior or master).
Additionally we offer three levels of training for those who serve our agencies as liaison officers. ICPC helps chaplains and liaison officers to learn to serve and not be served.
As part of your membership in the ICPC, you are provided support on many different levels. Some of these benefits include:
- A professional journal sent to our members four times a year.
- A lending library of resource materials for our members on all aspects of chaplaincy.
- A membership directory for networking with other chaplains.
- Support for individual chaplains, chaplaincy programs, or departments wishing to start a chaplaincy program.
- On-line sales of chaplaincy-related goods
- Bibliography of chaplaincy resources
