Riverside Police Department Welcomes New Police Chaplain


The Riverside Police Department is pleased to announce the appointment of Amauri Da Silva Vaz as our newest Police Chaplain. Chaplain Vaz was officially appointed during the Riverside Township meeting on September 21.

Chaplain Vaz will join our current Police Chaplain, Reverend Theodore King, in providing spiritual and emotional support to our officers, their families, and members of our community during times of crisis, grief, and hardship.

Our Police Chaplains also provide support during critical incidents, offer comfort to victims and families, assist department personnel following traumatic events, and serve as a compassionate resource for residents in times of need. They serve individuals of all faiths and backgrounds with compassion, confidentiality, and respect.

Please join us in welcoming Police Chaplain Amauri Da Silva Vaz to the Riverside Police Department and wishing him well as he begins this important role serving our officers and community.
