E01—Covert vs Overt, Covering Your Bacon –
Michael Hendricks
This course is designed to educate officers and
chaplains on the latest trends and designs of covert
universal handcuff keys available on the
market. The majority of these keys are available to
the average consumer, including falling into the
hands of felons, creating a dangerous situation for
custodial officers when these keys could be used

that retirement can bring.
(Continued from page 3)
for unlawful escape, especially since most states do
not regulate the possession of handcuff keys. This
course will introduce participants to what these
keys look like, some of the common retail points of
purchase, and how they are being tactically hidden
from officers during searches. Course participants
should leave the class with a better understanding
of how overlooking the smallest of “nonthreatening” items during a search can have dire
consequences.
E05—Don’t Call Me a Killer (2 Part Workshop) –
Kelly McEniry
This presentation is accompanied by a video
featuring stories from law enforcement officers/
spouses/dispatchers regarding issues they often
face following an officer-involved shooting, to
include: officers' emotional issues, media and legal
impact, family reaction, talking to kids about the
shooting, returning to work, going on that first call,
the value of a Peer Support program, attending
debriefings, and getting psychological support. It
encourages agencies to prepare for these issues by
having the proper resources available for its
personnel. Open discussion is encouraged; several
officers/spouses from the video will be there for
question/answer (tentative). This session will
complement law enforcement chaplains' current
skills and provide further insight and understanding
into the emotional impact of not only officerinvolved shootings, but other traumatic incidents
as well. All attendees receive a copy of the video.
E02—Franciscan Center First Responders Post
Trauma Training - Sister Anne Dougherty
First Responders spend four days at the Franciscan
Center. This private and peaceful setting allows
them to connect with other first responders who
have faced the same constant stream of critical
incidents. Participants identify their cumulative
stress reactions to various traumatic experiences
during the course of their career. The week
includes educational sessions each day that helps
the first responders understand the physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual impact that critical
incidents have on them. It also provides a tool kit
of new ways to cope with daily stressors. These
range from breathing exercises to nutritional and
exercise plans and skills for improving their stress
management. EMDR is also used and is a proven
scientific method of reprocessing traumatic events.
The retreat creates a renewed sense of self which
is the first step toward improving their professional
and family life. The participants will leave the
retreat with a better understanding of post trauma
stress and will be armed with a new resiliency for
coping with daily stream of critical incidents.
E06—The Chaplain’s Role in Hostage Negotiations
– Gary Malkus
This course will cover the history of hostage
negotiations with an understanding of the “East
Coast Model” and “West Coast Model”. It will also
cover the guidelines used by the negotiator to have
a successful outcome to the crisis. Most
importantly, this course will cover the Chaplain’s
Role during the negotiations. There will be a
detailed explanation of both positive and negative
aspects of the Chaplain’s presence during the
negotiation and how to be an asset after it has
concluded.
E03—What’s in the Heart of a Police Officer? –
Wendi Shackelford
E07—The Chaplain as a Ride-Along Asset – Gary
Malkus
The Heart of the Matter will involve a close look at
the challenges facing today's officers and how it
impacts the Core of their Heart.
This class is very informative in helping the
Chaplain to understand what it takes to be an asset
to the Officers he/she rides along with in a patrol
car. There are several things that a chaplain should
know about the officers, and themselves, before
they go out on a ride-along.
E04—Is Retirement Appropriate for a Chaplain? –
Richard Horn
Departments/Agencies know that their members
want to serve until retirement and receive their
pensions. But Chaplains, whether career or
volunteer, full-time or part-time, often overlook
both the personal and chaplaincy opportunities

E08—When Evil Presents Itself – Gary Welsh
E12—The Warrior Mentality: A Chaplain’s Point
of View – Chip Rittenhouse
Murphy's Law “Anything that can go wrong, will go
wrong”. Even with adequate training and the best
of intention, Chaplains often find themselves in
situations where “evil presents itself”. This course
uses a case study approach to dissect the
experiences of real life situations in which
Chaplains are forced to make split second decisions
to avert disaster/embarrassment. Through whole
group discussion, participants will discover useful
material to expand their tool kits and build capacity
to treat with the unexpected.
Are our police “warriors”? Should we be stressing
combat skills as the key to effective police work?
Should we be encouraging our officers to adopt a
warrior’s way of life? What about off the job? Chip
explores some of these questions and others,
looking at the concept of the popular “warrior
mentality”, with its sheep/wolf/sheepdog
foundation. He concludes that there’s a lot more
to being a cop than being a warrior, in fact,
focusing on war is dangerous to the cop and to
society.
E09—Chaplain Program Funding Strategies – Dan
Nolta
E13—Officer Death: The Effects Upon the
Chaplain's Life (2 Part Workshop) – Andy Kikuta
Fund raising is neither the last, nor the dreaded
task of the full time chaplain. While this class will
focus on fund raising principles, we will also look at
practical ideas from grant writing to the ‘personal
touch’ and give class members time to share their
specific situations.
How does a chaplain deal and cope with the death
of law enforcement officers that he or she has
known personally? What are some of the effects
that fall upon a chaplain's life? What resources are
available to the chaplain? This class will deal with
some of the issues involving loss and grief as
chaplains continue the journey of healing,
wholeness and resilience. Small group sessions will
also be a part of this class.
E10—Spiritual Implications of Domestic Violence:
The Chaplain's Response (4 Part Workshop) – Lou
Ness
This workshop will explore various aspects dealing
with domestic violence within the law enforcement
community. Upon completion of this workshop
attendees will be able to: Identify the cycle of
violence; define the various levels of domestic
violence; develop a structure for pastoral care for
the family; understand how faith traditions and the
sacred texts trap victims in abusive relationships;
and create a vision of the chaplain as leader in
offering alternatives for faith communities.
E14—“Liquid Courage” – James Morrison
This workshop will focus on developing referral
relationships for officers with alcohol and
substance abuse issues. The workshop will also
help Chaplains recognize signs and symptoms of
alcoholism and substance abuse issues; identify
programs and treatment facilities with expertise
treating the first responder population and build
support systems for officers reintegrating to their
departments post treatment (AA meetings,
individual therapists, and other recovering
officers).
E11—Diversity in Religions – Vernita Baldwin
Religions usually employ a large amount of
symbolism to represent their beliefs. The
objectives of this workshop is to explore
assumptions made about religious diversity within
the community; to explore beliefs of various
religious groups; to appreciate diversity as normal;
to value individual differences and perspectives;
PRE-REGISTRATION

(Continued from page 7)
E15—Losing One’s Soul – Chuck Congram
E19—Tactical Thinking for Chaplains – Erick
Riddle
Those who work in law enforcement are well
familiar with both stress and posttraumatic issues.
Perhaps there is a more common issue-that of
depression. The emotional and spiritual drain of
an inordinate time spent on the dark side of life
may well make an individual vulnerable to
depression. It may also help to explain the large
number of suicides. This seminar will explore that
possibility and offer suggestions as to identifying
and addressing the issue.
This course is based on the idea that “the best
weapon for self-defense is your mind”. There will
be practical instruction in personal safety for Law
Enforcement Chaplains who are not sworn officers
but invest time and effort in riding with officers on
patrol. The focus will not be defensive tactics,
rather it will be on thinking strategically in all
situations.
E20—Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS)
E16—Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue
– Virginia Howell
This workshop will explore these two areas
specifically and answer the following questions for
Chaplains: What is the difference between
vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue; As
caregivers, what can we do about them? The
workshop will also address practical self care ideas
to include emotional, physical and spiritual care.
This workshop will provide information regarding
the function and history of COPS. This
organization is vital in working with surviving
family members and co-workers of law
enforcement officials who are killed in the line of
duty. COPS is an important component of any law
enforcement death protocol from the time of
death through the life-long healing process of
survivors.
E17—Backup from the Home Front – Jim
Bontrager
E21—National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial Fund—Craig Floyd
The greatest ally in the battle to maintain
emotional wellness for officers can be that of an
enlightened spouse or significant other. Utilizing a
chaplain driven spousal education program in
addition to new hire training, agencies can equip
couples to present a united front against the
negative job related forces that will soon threaten
their relationship and emotional well-being. This
workshop will share time tested principles for
implementing an effective outreach.
This workshop will provide information on the
Peace Officers Memorial in Washington, DC as
well as exciting information on the progress of the
Police Museum. The NLEOMF is on the cutting
edge of recognizing all law enforcement officers
and ensuring that they are memorialized in an
honoring way. The ICPC is proud to hold an
honorary Board of Directors position with the
NLEOMF.
E22—Enhancing Chaplain Response to Persons
with Mental Illness – Bart Leger
E18—Building Chaplain Teams – Jim Crowley
This class will challenge the participants regarding
Leadership responsibilities for the Chaplain - How
to build a team of Chaplains. This class will be
focused on those who presently have an Executive
or Leadership role for other chaplains.
This course is designed to raise chaplains’
awareness of the most common types of mental
illness they will encounter as they respond to
persons in crisis. It will provide practical strategies
and communication techniques to facilitate
productive chaplain ministry to persons with
mental health issues.

Jews worldwide. The information presented will
provide chaplains an overview and valuable
information regarding the faith which many officers
throughout the world share. The workshop will
assist chaplains in ministering to these officers by
having a better and deeper understanding of
Judaism.
(Continued from page 8)
E23—Cross-Cultural Communication in Law
Enforcement Chaplaincy – Deborah Galtere
An exploration of dynamics, methodologies and
motivation of cross-cultural communication in Law
Enforcement Chaplaincy is an attempt to merge
together the best of research in the related fields
of communication, culture and Law Enforcement
Chaplaincy. My objective is to present a definitive
work on cross-cultural communication and to
introduce common factors which transcend
communication, culture and Law Enforcement
Chaplaincy.
E27—Succession is Not Retirement: Elijah-Elisha
Principle—Mindi Russell
If you believe succession is about growing old,
stepping down, surrendering, giving up, not being
able to contribute anymore or anything along these
lines, then you have lost the succession process
before you have even commenced. A negative
belief about what succession represents, will not
allow you to engage in the process and in the
manner that is required to deliver the success you
are ultimately seeking to achieve as a Chaplain for
the Law Enforcement Department you serve. You
and everyone who will support you in this process
must see succession as being about Growth –
Chaplain Growth. It is about progression,
opportunity and building the future while you are
there today. It is about taking responsibility for the
future ensuring that the next Chaplain team is
capable, competent, experienced and will be able
to take the ministry of presence to the next level.
Succession is the legacy you leave.
E24—Police Chaplain Burnout – Gary Crowe
“Burnout is not an illness that you catch, neither is
it a recognizable event or state, for it is a process
that often begins very early in one's career as a
helper. Indeed its seeds may be inherent in the
belief systems of many of the helping professions
and in the personalities of those that are attracted
to them.” (Edelwich and Brodsky 1980). This
presentation will offer insight into the issue of
Chaplain Burnout, how it can be recognized and
how to cope.
E25/L04—American Red Cross Cognate
Presentation – (4 Part Workshop)—Naomi Padgett
This American Red Cross (ARC) course presents
didactic, logistic, and table-top exercises to prepare
ICPC chaplains to partner with national
humanitarian organizations and cognate partners
through the ARC Disaster Spiritual Care (DSC)
program in response to local, mass casualty,
natural, aviation, transportation, and other
governmental requests. This orientation enables
ICPC chaplains to address the DSC needs of Red
Cross clients, staff and responders in the context of
Red Cross operations. The National VOAD DSC
Points of Consensus and DSC Guidelines will be
emphasized, enabling connections to the greater
faith-based disaster response. The training is also
designed to help Liaison Officers understand the
role of ARC and the use of cognate chaplain
organizations.
ADVANCED COURSES
A01—Caring for Cops—Dr. Ellen Kirschman, Dr.
Joel Fay and The Pain Behind the Badge—Clarke
and Tracie Paris
This three day seminar will be featuring TWO
