The Gwinnett County Police Department is looking for new volunteer chaplains of all religious denominations.
The department uses chaplains to assist at the scene of “traumatic events” when victims, witnesses and bystanders may need help. Chaplains also help members of the police department who are dealing with personal stress or family issues, or who may need help understanding the employee assistance programs available to them, according to a department release.
