I agree. I'm getting burned out dispatching, and I've been trying to see my job as a sort of "ministry" helping people (sending out police officers to the calls), but it is so limited.

I've read "Here If You Need Me" by Kate Braestrup, who became a Unitarian Universalist-ordained minister when her husband, Drew (a police officer who wanted to be a UU minister) died in a car accident in his cruiser. She is now the chaplain for the Maine State Game Wardens. Very inspirational book and I recommend it.

I wouldn't mind doing something along those lines, but I just wonder if law enforcement is ready for a Pagan solitary as a choice for a chaplain.
