Rev. Stan L. Sniezek, senior pastor of New Life Alliance Church, West Palm Beach, Florida, and lead chaplain for the Lake Clarke Shores Police Department, was recently awarded an Exceptional Service Commendation. Chaplain Stan serves his community with the highest degree of professionalism. “Anytime you receive formal recognition from a government agency, it means a lot,” says Stan. “The reassurance that you are doing an exceptional job is invaluable. This award spurs me on to continue to fight the good fight.”
Stan’s duties include-but are not limited to-counseling police officers, offering guidance to other members of the department and townspeople, making death notifications, visitation of the sick and hospitalized, and providing assistance to victims of trauma or crisis incidents, as well as offering invocations/benedictions at special events. Also, Stan is in the process of establishing CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) for the community. He will recruit and train local residents to join CERT.
“Being an Alliance chaplain with the police department has offered me a chance to minister to others outside the church,” he says. “I have another congregation that I am involved with. I am a pastor not only to my church but also to the community.”
