The last 7 years I have served as a member in CAPA (Clergy and Police Alliance). For the past 4 years I have been the CAPA Liaison in the North Division. During my time I have accumulated over 1800 hours of service on active patrols. I have seen firsthand what Officers are dealing with on a daily basis.
During my time in CAPA I discovered a GAP in Law Enforcement. This GAP exists between identifying an issue and a person seeking help for the issue. There are two issues that stand out the most. One is centered around mental health an the other is identified as moral injury. Both need to be identified and then both need to be treated with trusted resources.
Blue-Line is a private non-faith based 501(c)3 that is focused on the wellness of an Officer and their family. We are a professional Police Chaplain service that partners with Law Enforcement to mitigate the negative effects of moral injury.
What makes us unique?
- We are members of the International Conference of Police Chaplains.
- We are members of the International Association of Chiefs of Police with an emphasis on Wellness.
- We focus on doing consistent Ride-Outs to engage the Officer on a personal level in their world.
- We create Safe Harbors and build TRUST with Officers and their families.
- We are available 24/7/365 to Officers and their families.
- We support Officers and their families with trusted resources from within the department and approved resources outside the department.
If we look closely, we will see that wellness success is actually hidden in an Officers' daily routine. We promote Officer Wellness and help mitigate moral injury by relating, supporting, and reminding the Officer why it is so important to stay well. Reminders and Repetition are the motor of all learning.
