ALBION – A group of clergy members took the oath of office and were sworn in as chaplains for the Orleans County Sheriff’s office. Pictured form left include Dan Thurber, Don Snyder, Randy LeBaron, Brandon Carmichael, Tim Lindsay, Rebecca Allis, Eddie English, Bilal Huzair and Sheriff Chris Bourke.
County Clerk Nadine Hanlon administers the oath during the Orleans County Legislature meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
The Sheriff’s Office has chaplains on call every day, with the clergy taking turns. The chaplains are volunteers and are not paid. They do ride-alongs and offer spiritual support to employees of the Sheriff’s Office if requested.
They also are available to go to a scene where there has been a tragedy or crime and offer support for families or victims of crimes.
The chaplains also attend public events throughout the year with the Sheriff’s Office.
