Crosses: Many chaplains and ministers use these crosses for different reasons. Ministers wear them on their lapel, military, fire and law enforcement chaplains wear them on their collars like you see below. Chaplains who wear them on their black ball caps when working in the field. They are also very valuable to the busy chaplain working the streets or doing hospital and nursing home visitations. They let law enforcement, Sheriffs Department, hospital security or first responders know who you are and that you are there for a reason. These crosses have rubber clutches which hold better than metal!
