Policing Insight - Subscription at source 10/6/2026 Feature, Innovation Why police chaplaincy matters more than ever In this conversation from Thames Valley Police headquarters, Deputy Chief Constable Ben Snuggs and Reverend Matthew Hopley reflect on the role of police chaplaincy and why they believe it matters more than many people realise. The discussion explores how chaplaincy supports officers, staff and volunteers across policing, not just through faith, but through pastoral care, trust, confidential listening and support for the deeper moral and spiritual pressures that come with police work.
