Chaplain Training
Standards
Rocky Mountain Police and Fire Chaplains (RMPFC) has developed a Chaplain Training Standard. It is our desire to have excellence in training that defines training expectations as well as ongoing training levels for all Chaplains. Chaplains must be prepared for every situation and all active Chaplains should be trained to an appropriate level of competence. RMPFC offers training at least twice a year a various locations along the Colorado front range as wells provides customized trainings to meet the needs of specific agencies/chaplains that are not able to make the scheduled basic chaplain trainings. The RMPFC trainings as well as our partner trainings are listed on our events page. We also offer Partnership training opportunities that can be found here.
