Movers & Thinkers: The Heavy Burden Of A Nashville Police Chaplain

In the Metro Nashville Police Department, the official chaplain is always on call in case of emergency. In this role, James Duke counsels other police officers in crisis, and he also delivers death notifications to families around the city when someone has died.
