PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Pam Neal, President
Our world has changed drastically in the last few months. We are normally working to prepare for our Annual Training Seminar at this time. We are usually making travel arrangements, selecting classes, and making hotel reservations in June. Instead we are navigating a world-wide pandemic and nationwide demonstrations and riots. First let me say that I am praying for you and for your families and hoping you have been able to stay free from the Corona Virus. For those of you who have experienced the virus, I pray for your complete recovery. For those of you dealing with quarantine and stay-at-home orders, I pray that you are doing well and will soon be able to resume normal activities. Sometimes I have asked myself about “normal.” What is “normal” these days? How much will life return to the normal we had previously? How much will we see a new “normal?” One of the things we know well as Chaplains is to be flexible. We never know what is around the corner and often have to be flexible in a situation. Flexibility is one of the things that makes good Chaplains. Just as we are beginning to see signs of recovery from COVID-19, a terrible incident occurred in Minneapolis. The death of George Floyd is very tragic and something we all wish had never happened. Officers made poor choices that resulted in someone’s death. Our nation has been thrown into chaos as a result. I am praying for all of you who are continuing to support and encourage our police officers in the midst of this situation. We all know that most all of our law enforcement officers are professional men and women who strive to serve and protect all people regardless of race or color. Over the last weeks, we have seen many pictures and heard many stories of officers caring for members of their communities of different races. In some cases, we have even seen officers joining with protesters in condemning racism. Unfortunately, we have seen some officers who have not treated others as they should. They have ignored their calling to protect and defend and have resorted to methods and actions contrary to the standards of law enforcement. Those officers have caused condemnation for the entire profession. As Chaplains, our hearts break for the thousands of officers who care about others and serve selflessly to help people at their most vulnerable times. The spouses, children, and other family members of officers have been targeted as well and even threatened. Officers and their families have lost friends and been condemned for actions of others they do not even know.

I know these are difficult times for all of us. As Chaplains, we want to be of assistance. Continue to be a friend to our Officers. We need to be more visible at our agencies than ever. We have just come through the pandemic when many of our agencies wanted Chaplains to keep their distance to avoid the virus. If possible, now is the time to be there for your officers to offer them you support and encouragement. Show up at Roll Calls. Be ready with encouraging words and with prayers when possible. The very best and most we can do for our officers and their families is to pray for them. Pray. Pray. Pray. Pray for their protection. Pray for wisdom. Pray for courage. Pray for perseverance. Pray for their spouses who worry about their safety. Pray for their children who do not understand why anyone would want to hurt their parent. What happened in Minneapolis was inexcusable. Let us remember who we are and what we do. Our calling is to give support and encouragement to the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to help people on what is often the worst day of their lives. Be there for them and let them know they are not alone. We also lead by example when we let others see that we love others. Showing love for everyone no matter who they are sets the example that will change our present situation. As always, do not hesitate to let us know if we can be of assistance to you. We are setting up something new for all ICPC members. Sometimes we need someone to talk to who understands police chaplaincy. Our ICPC Peer Support Team will be manning a new Peer Support hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will publish the number shortly, and you will be able to call anytime and talk to someone trained in Peer Support. It is another benefit of ICPC membership. Please let me know if I can do anything to help you as you continue to faithfully serve our law enforcement officers. Thank you for your commitment to serving and dedication to officers and their families. May God continue to bless each of you as you bless our officers. I will surely miss seeing you at the ATS this summer in Orlando. You are my ICPC Family, and I will greatly miss being with you. I am sure you are as disappointed as I am for us not to be together this summer. Since we are unable to have the 2020 ATS, the Education Committee has been working to bring you training by webinar during the July 13th-16th week (scheduled for same week as the ATS would have been held). There will be six classes that you can register for online and view in the comfort of your home or office. Be sure to take advantage of these trainings. You will receive ICPC academic credits. Additional information may be found in this issue. Also, look for information concerning the schedule of the Annual ICPC Meetings that will be held. The meetings are all scheduled Eastern Time through Microsoft Office/Teams video conference (see page 5 and Page 6) . Be sure to join us as we conduct ICPC business. Now more than ever our officers need us and we need each other. Remember – Together We Can -- Together We Will.

Even prior to the Covid-19 event the ICPC Executive Board envisioned providing its members with expanded communication ability. This began with the migration of ICPC to Microsoft Office 365. With this transition we are able to provide each member with access to applications such as Outlook, Teams and many more. This is an added member benefit with no extra cost. You should have received an email with your log in information please contact the office if you have not. For a quick overview on how to log in and use these products Click the images below.
These applications have been configured so you can communicate remotely with your local agencies, commu-nity members as well as your ICPC committees, state, re-gion or the entire membership. As with any email system please be cautious with clicking links or open files from unknown and even sometimes known senders. Please contact office if you have any questions. Support for these can be found on line from
Microsoft 365 Training
and thru our corporate office. [email protected]
Other features will enable us to provide customized ap-plications. Can’t remember which “Robert” you spoke with at the last Annual Training Seminar we have an app for that. We will need a little input for these to be developed. Namely pictures of our members to add to your profiles.
Our World is Changing and so is your ICPC organization.

Editorial Comment
Richard Hartman, Editor
How many of you have heard, “We are in this together?” Do you really feel the presence of your family… your colleagues… friends? Do you feel like you are connected to your church family or your department? I can only speak for myself in saying that I feel like I am in “Limbo-land.” That is a word that my granny came up with when you feel like you are “NO WHERE” and you have “NO WHERE” to go. Since around January we started hearing news about the COVID-19 virus, and then we have been on various stages of shut-down, self-isolation, and self-distancing. We have had to learn to communicate with others via: telephone, internet or simply writing notes. How many of us know more about Zoom, Windows 365 and uploading of videos to Facebook Live, U-Tube Chan-nels, and “face-timing” than we did just 90 days ago? Did you go willingly, or did you have a little struggle? If you are like me, you thought when all of this started it would last maybe a few days, a couple of weeks tops. Who would have thought it would be over three months and counting! Then there are the conflicting reports- “Yes the self-isolating is working… no it isn’t working.” Is it any wonder that we are having a difficult time during this time? Most of us live in three worlds: our family life, our church family life, and our law enforcement life. We are one person but live in a variety of situations. Once again, I am only speaking from my own experiences. I am traveling from my home to the church office and then back home at the end of the day. I spend the majority of my day on a computer talking with people, attending webinars, and writing. I have become intentionally about getting up to walk around the church building every hour on the hour. I needed the exercise. I am also the only person in the church building. So why am I telling you all of this stuff? I would expect many of you are faced with the same diffi-culties I have been facing. It is not an easy time. Most of us are suffering from what is called, “Compassion Fatigue.” We need the interaction with others to recharge our life’s batteries. We haven’t had much interaction with people, and it is starting to show. If you know me then you know that I am rather jovial person who loves to laugh, and I am the one who is known as “the bunny that keeps going and going.” My energy level these days is way down. A clinical psychologist helped me to realize I needed to be kind to myself and take care of myself. So I take time each day to take a nap, and during the day I make 5 telephone calls to friends that are not church or business relat-ed! This has started to help. It is getting me out of the haze that started to fall over me. The world you and I live in is changing. The change is happening whether we want it to or not. Each of us needs to find ways to help us renew and refresh our life. Find ways to be energized so you can be as healthy as you can be. Please take care of yourself and be safe. You are a blessing! Sincerely,
Chaplain Richard Hartman Journal Editor
The ICPC Journal ~ June 2020 Page 11
Mother’s Day here in America. Unlike other years we were not able to celebrate as a family and have our moms here for Sunday dinner as we have in past years. Both my wife Paula and I are blessed to still have our moms with us. They are 80 and 82 and in reasonably good health, but due to the Covid-19 concerns and our state “Stay at Home” order we couldn’t get together, couldn’t see each other, couldn’t give flowers and cards and hugs and kisses. We have Face Time and Skype and cell phones, but somehow they didn’t seem like adequate substi-tutes. We know that this too shall pass and are anticipating the time when we can gather in person again.
For each of you that serve in the honorable profession of Law Enforcement, this is a very special time as
well, as this is National Law Enforcement Memorial week, and Friday will be National Law Enforcement Memori-al day. But, as described above, this year will be without the normally scheduled events and remembrances. Over the past 20 years I have participated in events each year that honor you that serve and remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I have offered invocations and benedictions, given keynote addresses, stood with fam-ily members whose love ones were gone, stood at attention at our Nation’s capital, our State capital and at county and community services in several other states. I have listened to taps, proudly sang our Nation’s anthem and si-lently wiped away tears while holding up a blue light honorably. And, I have seen the pain of loss on the faces of thousands who mourn and miss terribly one (or more) that they count dear.
This year that honor has been taken from me – and from you. We can’t line the streets and listen to the
roar of motorcycles and see miles and miles of red and blue lights. We can’t stand together and watch flyovers and gaze on dozens of color guards and hear the wail of bagpipes. We can’t bow our heads and wear mourning bands on our badges and touch monuments inscribed with names and lay wreaths there in memory. I won’t be able to stand with my fellow ICPC chaplains as we hear the names of each Law Enforcement officer, deputy, de-tective, agent and K9 that we’ve lost in the past year. And I won’t get to stand with Stan and Cindy Borostowski – parents of fallen Wisconsin State Trooper Tony Borostowski - as we mourn again a young life tragically cut short. All of this due to no fault of ours – all due to a coronavirus.
These are the reasons that I write each of you today. This week may well be more difficult and more chal-
lenging than others. Not because of the increase in the number of responses, or an escalation of violence or a re-surgence of criminal activity, but because of the lack of honor, appreciation and attention, that you and your pro-fession will NOT receive (and yet are so deserving of!) – during a week set aside each year for that very purpose. But please know, and please be assured, that in the same way that this current worldwide pandemic couldn’t still the gratitude and special joy of Passover, Easter and Mother’s Day – neither will the cancellation of Memorial ob-servances during our National Law Enforcement Memorial week diminish the gratitude, appreciation and honor held in the hearts of we – the citizens of the greatest nation on earth – for the greatest Law Enforcement profes-sionals on earth!
Please know that all across our land this week, flags will still fly at half staff in honor of your fallen broth-
ers and sisters. Please know that your courageous work and tireless efforts will still be appreciated, applauded and remembered with utmost gratitude!! Please know that prayers will continue to be offered for your safety and well-being – and that of your families. And please know – beyond any doubt – that this great nation of ours is a much better, much safer and much more secure place to live, work, worship, recreate, and yes, even “stay home” because you serve!!
Thank you for all that you do! Thank you for your many sacrifices! Thank you for putting on the uniform
every day! Thank you for standing between good and evil – between the innocent and the predator! Thank you for responding when called! Thank you for patrolling our streets, neighborhood, counties, interstates and borders. Thank you for investigating crimes, guarding our officials, patrolling our waterways, overseeing our Natural Re-sources and for enforcing our local, state and National laws. THANK YOU for serving honorably as a member of Law Enforcement!!! While this year’s National Law Enforcement Memorial week may be different in many ways than what we’ve become accustom to, one thing remains the same – I am grateful and thankful for you!! And, for everything that you do!!
May the Lord bless and keep each one of you and may this week still be special – even if in a different way – as you serve! Stay safe! Stay strong! And stay the course!!
Chaplain Mark D. Clements ICPC Education Chair
Greetings to each of you that serve in Law Enforcement!

History of ICPC LOGO
The ICPC logo is shaped like a five-pointed star of the early peace officer which was made famous by the Texas Rangers. Superimposed upon this is the more modern shield, the badge of office for those who have sworn to “shield” the pub-lic from those who would violate the law. A field of blue, for truth, is surrounded by a circle of gold, for the unity of our chaplain family. Superimposed on the shield are the symbols of the Judean-Christian faith, signifying faiths of ICPC’s Founders, the six-pointed Star of Da-vid and the Cross of Christ. A laurel wreath, a symbol of honor, surrounds the shield distinguishing the law enforcement profession. At the top of the shield is a rising sun signifying God’s Word. Thus, we have both symbols of law enforcement and faith inextricably woven to-gether and superimposed to symbolize our office as law enforcement chaplains.

Thank you for your faithful
support of ICPC!
And a shadow fell across the land As a hero was buried with honors- grand.
He patrolled the streets where we live And gave the greatest gift he could give.
A proud knight in blue
With heart brave and true, A defender of justice in unjust times, Protector of
the meek from violence and crimes.
He lent us strength when we felt weak, Taught us faith when times were bleak, And with blazing siren and noble star
He sped to our rescue- near or far!
He did find the long lost child, And would give chase to bandits-wild. He
protected the battered wife, And brought security to our life.
Because of this brave blue knight
We can sleep without fright. And never once did I know him to doubt, or pause,
Though he seldom received praise or cause.
For he risked his life not for fame or pay- His was a noble soul that knew no other way.
And though he fell to a gunman's blast- In our hearts he shall forever last.
For even though a man may die and pass away,
Heroes like him shall forever stay With the people and city he did defend
With honor, compassion, and justice to the very end.
And though we shall grieve our loss this long while, Never shall we forget the kind voice and warming
smile Of the fearless hero of this great land
Whom we now bury, with honors-grand.
By Michael Romansky Communications Supervisor
Marion County Sheriff’s office, Indianapolis
In loving memory of IMPD Officer David Moore

Standing there in his dress blues he vows to give his best. Can he know the gravity of the badge now on his chest?
Visions in his mind, he’s going to change the world. He’s sure to find, l ike us once blind, to the violence unfurled.
He took the call and gave his all there’s so little time to rest Not withstanding so demanding, this badge upon his chest.
Now things he sees is fitful dreams that somehow should not be, All the things he happened on that he cannot un -see.
Now there’s prayers he prays at night, and fears that he confessed
Now he knows it grows and grows the weight that’s on his chest.
Somewhere on a lonely street a single shot rings out.
Lying there in his dress blues he gave the world his best.
Succumbing to the weight of it they lay his soul to rest.
