I am thankful for the Sacramento Law Enforcement Chaplaincy. In 1977, the Sacramento Police Department was a founding member of the Chaplaincy. Today, under the leadership of Executive Director Darryl Schmidt and Senior Chaplain Debra Fontes, we continue to serve our community as a team for positive community impact.

Your chaplains have become an integral part of our law enforcement family, offering solace and support to officers and their families during times of crisis, loss, and personal struggles. Your commitment to providing emotional and spiritual care to our law enforcement professionals is invaluable and greatly appreciated. I would also like to acknowledge the positive impact you have made in our community. Your presence at community events, outreach programs, and critical incidents has helped bridge the gap between law enforcement and the public. Your ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their background or beliefs, is a testament to your compassion and dedication.

The pivotal role that chaplains play within our law enforcement ecosystem cannot be overstated. These remarkable individuals, driven solely by their compassion and selflessness, devote their precious time as volunteers to serve as a vital source of support for our deputies and the communities that rely on our protection. Their presence, marked by an unshakable commitment to our cause, is a testament to their unwavering dedication and their desire to provide solace during times of distress, guidance in moments of uncertainty, and a listening ear to those who seek understanding. The scope of the Sacramento Law Enforcement Chaplaincy’s impact resonates deeply within the corridors of the entire Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office. Their continuous presence and their remarkable ability to provide emotional and spiritual support have not only proven to be invaluable assets for our deputies but have also reinforced the strong bonds we share with the communities we proudly serve. It is through their compassionate outreach that bridges we built, understanding is nurtured, and trust is solidified—factors that are indispensable in fostering a safer and more harmonious environment for everyone.
