The department is using its Facebook page to introduce each of the department’s 11 chaplains to the public.
Pastor Warren Boettcher is the Senior Pastor of Sovereign Grace Church. He is the primary preaching pastor, oversees the leadership team, and provides pastoral care to the congregation. Warren taught at Delaware County Christian School in suburban Philadelphia prior to joining the pastoral staff at Covenant Fellowship Church in 1990.
The ETPD Chaplain Program was established to serve and support the Evesham Police Department, focused on providing spiritual support for the community during traumatic events and incidents when called upon 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Police chaplains respond to counsel, assist and support victims and others touched by critical incidents and crises, including death notifications, suicide, homicides, hostage situations, kidnapping and other traumatic events.
Police chaplains are specially trained to handle crisis situations and also provide follow-up counseling, group debriefings and individual intervention. Police chaplains are trained to minister to people of all faiths.
Police chaplains are non-paid volunteers, and as such all chaplaincy services are provided at no cost to individuals, families or the department.
