Murphy Hanley, Polk County Fire Rescue Chaplain

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposal for a new Fire Rescue Chaplain position within Polk County Fire Rescue. The position is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, this role would involve providing spiritual and emotional support to fire rescue personnel and their families. The scope of work would focus on the establishment and operationalization of this support service. This early stage in the public process presents an opportunity for service providers in areas such as counseling, training, and administrative support to engage with the county before final decisions are made. Reaching out now could allow businesses to understand the needs and potentially shape the service delivery.
