Master's International School of Divinity Law Enforcement Chaplaincy for Pastors

Are you a pastor with a heart for your community beyond your local church?

Law Enforcement Chaplaincy may be the ideal opportunity for you to make a real difference in one of the most important functions of your city. We all depend on law enforcement for our safety and security. Perhaps now is the time for you to consider what you can do to give back to those who do so much for us, while at the same time helping them in their incredibly important calling.

Master's Certificate Program in Law Enforcement Chaplaincy will prepare you to serve in this extremely important ministry to your community. This one-of-a-kind program has been developed by Col. Dale F. Hansen, one of America's most distinguished military and law enforcement chaplains. Col. Hansen is a recently retired U.S. Army chaplain; current F.B.I. chaplain; retired chaplain of the Phoenix, AZ Police Department; and ministers in private practice as a marriage and family therapist while also serving as pastoral counselor and chaplain for the Cart T. Hayden Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Phoenix. Col. Hansen is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M. and D.Min.) and also holds a Ph.D. in family counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary.

As the founder and lead faculty member for Master's Certificate in Law Enforcement Chaplaincy, Dr. Hansen knows what law enforcement agencies need and require of those who wish to serve in this critical area of community ministry. He has developed a program that meets the real-life requirements of those who feel called to serve as a chaplain to their local, state or federal law enforcement agency.

The program consists of four courses. The first two are the foundational courses that will prepare you to serve as a chaplain. The other two course are intended to enhance your training as a law enforcement chaplain.

The two primary courses are:

Constitutionality of the Chaplaincy CHP-1502

Important Note: The Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Certificate Program may not be for everyone. Individuals hoping to serve as a chaplain should be advised that while some communities may have unique opportunities, most law enforcement agencies expect or require that those wishing to serve as chaplains be pastors or staff pastors of a local church (or retired), and be properly ordained or licensed by a recognized church or denomination. Please check with the head of the law enforcement agency you are considering.
