Who We Are

On March 10, 1969, Chief Shaver appointed the Reverend John A. "Jack" Price as the first Chaplain Commander to oversee 35 ministers and a motor vehicle donated by a local automobile agency. In 1998, the Albuquerque Law Enforcement Building was named after Commander Price.

Today, Department Chaplains continue to serve as "ambassadors" dedicated to providing a ministry of presence, support and counsel to members of the Albuquerque Police Department, their families and the community.

What We Do

  • Provide for the support of department employees and their families.
  • Provide counsel and guidance to persons in crisis in the Albuquerque community.
  • Provide a great work environment by working effectively with each other.
  • Apply the highest standards of excellence to providing support to those requesting assistance.
  • Maintain a presence that fosters the highest ethical conduct among employees.
  • Foster public confidence and support by attending civic events and being available during periods of heightened public interest.
  • Contribute positively to our Department and our community.
  • Recognize that the spirit of service is essential to fulfilling our mission.
