ABOUT US

POLICE OFFICERS FOR CHRIST

Founded in 1977 by NYPD Officer Gerald Francis, Police Officers for Christ began as a non-denominational fellowship of Christian officers dedicated to spreading the gospel within the department. Incorporated in 1981, it gained official recognition from the NYC Housing and Transit Police in 1982 and was welcomed into the NYPD’s committee of police societies in 1988.

Rooted in the belief in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the organization upholds the Bible as truth, acknowledging that all have sinned and are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. Committed to sharing this grace, Police Officers for Christ continues its mission of faith and fellowship within the NYPD.
