International Conference of Police Chaplains

What International Conference of Police Chaplains does

The International Conference of Police Chaplains (ICPC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership association founded in 1973, headquartered in Casa Grande, Arizona, with 46 employees serving law enforcement chaplains across 12 chartered regions spanning North America, Europe, Africa, Latin America/Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific areas. Its functional mandate is training, credentialing, and ongoing professional development for both volunteer and vocational chaplains who support law enforcement personnel and their families.

ICPC's core product is a six-tier professional credentialing ladder (Basic, Liaison, Senior, Master, Diplomate, Fellow) governed by an organizational Canon of Ethics, supplemented by an Annual Training Seminar featuring 75+ learning events, regional training seminars, and a 2025-launched Online Training Platform delivered via Path LMS. The technology backbone consists of Higher Logic for membership and community management, with PayPal and reCAPTCHA supporting donation processing through a Disaster Relief Fund. Leadership is elected for two-year terms, with the most recent governance refresh occurring in July 2025.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring individual membership dues, paid online training bundles, credential application fees, event registrations, and tax-deductible donations. Distribution is regional-director-led with national event anchoring, and commercial reach has been extended through 2025 partnerships with the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF), Peer Connect, the Fraternal Order of Police (F.O.P.), and Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.). Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
