For many years, the Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Sacramento (LECS) has not only been providing Chaplain services to First Responders, and the community, they have also been offering a wide variety of presentations and training classes to Law Enforcement, First Responders, schools, churches, businesses, organizations, and the community.

First Responder Church Training
Following a crime, death of a loved one, or traumatic event, the Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Sacramento (LECS) provides follow-up care to these victims or traumatized persons for several days, possibly up to one week.
However, some of these people require longer follow-up attention. The Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Sacramento (LECS) has partnered with several area churches that go above and beyond in assisting those with additional follow-up needs. These churches offer short term practical assistance, not pastoral care (unless requested).
These church members may assist with light housekeeping, bringing in a meal, or offering a listening ear. These are just a few examples of practical assistance that might be offered to ease the load on the impacted person or their family. The goal for the First Responder Church is not to get the traumatized person to join their church, but simply to help them progress through their grief journey.
If your church has an interest in becoming a First Responder Church – please send an email to info@sacchaplains.com to schedule a training session, or call our office Monday through Thursday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at (916)978-0296.
Suicide Awareness Training
Sadly, suicide calls are one of the most common that the Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Sacramento (LECS) deals with. For this reason, LECS offers a comprehensive 4-Hour Suicide Awareness Training that has been very successful in helping law enforcement, First Responders, clergy, teachers, parents and the community with suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
This class can be presented via ZOOM on-line. We also schedule several of these training classes each year in our LECS Training Room and host locations.
Suicide Awareness Training is both lecture and interactive and covers topics such as:
- Prevention
- Intervention
- Postvention
- Myths
- Stigma
- Sleep Deprivation
- Developing Good Listening Skills (including what you hear when no one is talking)
This training can help everyone be more in tune with stopping the epidemic of suicide.
