Who We Are

The Heart Behind
the Badge

The Tulsa Police Department Chaplains Corps is a volunteer ministry serving the men and women of the TPD — providing confidential spiritual care, emotional support, and pastoral counseling.

We walk alongside officers through critical incidents, personal crises, grief, and the everyday weight of a demanding profession. Our chaplains are trained, vetted, and trusted members of the department family.

We also serve the broader Tulsa community — responding alongside officers to scenes involving death notifications, trauma, and community needs.
