The SHIELD Armory

Police Chaplains Darren Potter, Gareth Stephenson & Adam Hughes sit down and discuss topics that are vitally important to the professional and personal lives of law enforcement officers. As full-time Christian Police Chaplains, they use biblical truth as the foundation as they discuss each topic, looking at God's design of how to not just survive, but thrive in life as officers, dispatchers, spouses, parents and any other role you might find yourself. Not only will you hear from the 3 Chaplains, but you will also have a chance to hear from other law enforcement officers, command staff, mental health specialists, spouses of officers and much more.
