Former Deputy Turns Chaplain for Sheriff's Office | Topeka News

Todd Neely, a former deputy turned minister, is now the new volunteer chaplain for the Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office — and he’s making waves with his unique blend of law enforcement experience and deep faith. Living 85 miles away in Mission, MO, he drives down I-70 whenever called upon, balancing his full-time job to serve deputies and staff. This is the first time the department has had a chaplain, and Sheriff Kirsch says Neely’s presence is already transforming lives — offering emotional support, riding patrols, and being there for everyone, regardless of belief. His mission? To bring compassion and comfort to a community that often goes unnoticed — one drive at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
