My name is Travis Akins and I serve on the Executive Team of RMPFC as the Program Manager. I also serve as a Chaplain for the Littleton Police Department, the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, and as a part-time Officer with the Columbine Valley Police Department.

I have been a part of the law enforcement community since 2002 when I became a deputy and have served as a Law Enforcement Chaplain since 2013.

It is an honor and privilege to serve those who serve us. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support.

Team Akins September Update

MINISTRY UPDATE
As you can imagine, and you may have experienced this as well, the past month has been filled with intense emotions. Each September we gather together to remember those that lost their life on September 11, 2001. While we planned for this remembrance, no one could have anticipated on September 10, 2025 we would experience the assassination of Charlie Kirk nor another school shooting, this time at Evergreen High School. These events remind us of the fragility of life and the importance of how we live our life each day with the purpose God has given us.

I do believe that we are seeing a turning point in our nation, in our hearts, and in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Thousands upon thousands of people are returning to church, searching for meaning/purpose, and millions of people have heard the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus. We can pray for a revival as the world turns to our Savior and we can pray for God's sovereignty in all things.

I am proud to say our chaplain team did an amazing job responding to support the emergency responders in Evergreen, Colorado and the community. I was honored to be invited to lead a debrief for the community and support a debrief for responders. The Evergreen Fire & Rescue Department did an absolute amazing job in the immediate response as well as how well they have cared for responders and the community in the days following.

On Sept 11, I participated in the largest stair climb in the country at Red Rocks Amphitheater. We climb 110 flights of stairs to commemorate the 110 flights of stairs at the World Trade Center and raised over $100,000 to support the FDNY Counseling Services Unit and the NFFF.

I have some exciting news from an officer that I will be able to share next month, you won't want to miss it.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN POLICE & FIRE CHAPLAINS
More exciting news, I have been working on establishing an expanded Training Team for RMPFC. This will allow us to multiply our ability to host trainings across the country. Over the next few months, we hope to set the foundaiton of the team and be prepared for 2026 and beyond.

A deputy approached me a few months ago about creating a training / retreat for responder supervisors to lead from a foundation of Christ. We have met a few times and are preparing the core of the class to promote to a pilot group with the hope of a training next year and possibly a online forum even sooner.

Our October Basic Chaplain Training is filling up with 22 already signed up and we anticipate about 30 registrations. Always exciting to see more and more people joining the movement to support our responders and their families.

We have had some movement with the chaplain team additions in Commerce City PD and Wheat Ridge PD. Please pray for those going through the process.

We have published the first stages of the training options for 2026 and looking forward to adding trainings across the country. We will also be sharing at the Shield of Armor Wellness conference next spring with 30 agencies in attendance and are also in the final stages of being approved to share at next year's IACP Wellness Conference. Please pray for these opportunities and others as God continues to open the doors for us to share about Emergency Responder Chaplaincy.

RMPFC Basic Chaplain Training in Nebraska - Nov 18-19
