HAPPY NATIONAL CHAPLAINS WEEK!

This week, the La Porte Police Department proudly celebrates and honors our incredible Police Chaplains!

Behind the badge, there are moments when encouragement, prayer, compassion, and a listening ear make all the difference. Our chaplains faithfully stand beside our officers, staff, their families, and our community through life's most challenging moments.

Whether offering comfort during a crisis, encouragement during difficult times, or simply being a reassuring presence, their dedication and selfless service are invaluable.

To our amazing chaplains, THANK YOU! Thank you for your time, your sacrifice, your prayers, and your unwavering commitment to the La Porte Police Department.

Your service is a blessing, your presence makes a difference, and your dedication does not go unnoticed!

Please join us in celebrating these incredible individuals who serve with compassion, faith, and heart!

Happy National Chaplains Week!
