South Burnett police chaplain Rev Dr David Ferguson was farewelled at a barbecue lunch held at Kingaroy Police Station on Friday.<\/p>\n

Dr Ferguson was formally appointed to the role almost 3 1\/2 years ago but has been assisting for even longer.<\/p>\n

The Uniting Church Minister has also been responsible for local churches at Kingaroy, Wondai, Kumbia and Corndale but is now packing his bags and heading to Perth.<\/p>\n

He has been appointed Presbytery Officer – a senior role within the Uniting Church – for an area of Western Australia stretching north to Port Hedland.<\/p>\n

Rev John Selwood, who has been working alongside Dr Ferguson, will continue in the role as police chaplain in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant David Tierney, said the role of police chaplain was very important.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said police officers sometimes “ran a mile” from the chaplain, but then when something happened they were glad to have someone to whom they could talk.<\/p>\n

The police chaplain also presides over the annual Police Remembrance Day commemorations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
