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.

MINISTRY UPDATE

I am writing from AZ as we finish up our Advanced Training Course with five departments participating. It is always so encouraging to see chaplains growing and excited about serving those who serve us. The trainings where we travel are always a blur with all of the activities and engagements, however, a true blessing to be part of.

This month I was also honored and privileged to be part of the baptism of an officer and his daughter. They invited many friends and family together to celebrate this special time together. An exciting time for sure to see our responders taking huge steps in their personal walk with Christ.

One of our officer's from Littleton PD retired after 40 years of service! What a huge accomplishment to serve for so long and to make such a tremendous impact in the community and the influence on so many officers over the years.

Denver Seminary invited myself and a colleague to teach five topics over a day of training for future chaplains. We are praying for more opportunities like this across the nation to continue to equip chaplains in their calling.

Please pray for our daughter Katelyn who is the hiring process to join Denver PD as a police recruit and attend the academy in June.

Here is a quote from a victim advocate I have the privilege of serving with.

Chaplain Akins was extraordinarily helpful to me on a Victim Services call a couple of years ago. A teenage boy found his mother deceased in their home, and the boys father was out of state and was going to take several hours to get to Colorado. I did not want the young man to stay in the apartment alone, so I brought him to the department to hang out until his father arrived. I tried everything I possibly could to communicate with the young man, but it was clear he did not wish to interact with me in that moment. I called Chaplain Akins hoping he could help. After some time, the young man began to open up to Travis. I was extremely grateful and appreciative for his presence and his ability to connect with this young man who had just gone through the worst time in his young life.

Our Colorado Capitol Day to recognize Emergency Responder Chaplains was a huge success. We had about 50 people join us and I was invited onto the Senate floor. We are grateful that our lawmakers see the impact being made and celebrate all that is going on in the chaplaincy movement.
