Tuesday Classes

Chaplain Terry Morgan from Placer County, California, led a session on how chaplains can work with special law enforcement groups such as SWAT teams, bike patrols, etc.  He is a full-time chaplain and serves all the law enforcement agencies in his county.



Jennifer Thacker is the National President of C.O.P.S. (Concerns Of Police Survivors).  Her husband was killed while on duty ten years ago.  She taught how chaplains can assist families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.  She is an excellent presenter.


Mindi Russell is a chaplain from Sacramento, California, who has worked with over 140 families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty.   Her class discussed how to provide services, funerals, and aftercare for surviving family members.


Glenn Archer, Ed. D., lives in Mobile.  He taught a class on how chaplains can help police officers prepare for retirement.  Since recent studies show that many former officers die within five years after retiring, they need more than just good financial planning.  He presented points on a ten-year plan that will help turn those statistics around.
