The Chaplains provide crisis intervention services to the general public in case of major emergencies or a death in the field and support both fire and police line staff. The volunteer Chaplain team provides the city with 24/7 coverage, everyday of the year.
All chaplains must attend the Oregon Chaplains Academy at the State Fire and Police Academy in Salem or The Essentials of Fire Chaplaincy by the Federation of Fire Chaplains, taught locally. Upon entering the program, the chaplain will be assigned a training task book with other assigned courses. Once the chaplain passes their training and mentoring, they serve at least two shifts a week, totaling at least 24 hours a week where they are on call and serve as the primary coverage chaplain and attend chaplain staff meetings every Wednesday morning.
