Police chaplains are generally volunteer members of the clergy who perform various spiritually-related tasks for law enforcement agencies. They may counsel officers wanting spiritual guidance or officiate at ceremonies such as funerals and memorial services. In some agencies, chaplains sometimes ride with patrol officers and respond to domestic violence calls and other situations where personal counseling may be of value. They usually have no actual police powers, although some complete the necessary training and can perform as sworn officers. They may wear police-type uniforms, but do not carry firearms unless they have completed police training.
