Soft light from large stained-glass windows filtered into\nTransylvania University’s Old Morrison Chapel as Joseph Casey McClure’s wife\npinned lieutenant bars to the collars of his uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having this promotion ceremony in the chapel earlier this\nmonth was apropos for McClure, who, in addition to helping keep campus safe\nthrough his job with the Department of Public Safety, is pastor of Buena Vista\nBaptist Church in Garrard County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His two careers have more in common than you might think.\nMcClure \u2014 who earned a bachelor’s degree in human services and psychology, and\na master’s in justice administration \u2014 is a big proponent of getting to know\nthe people his department serves. And the counseling experience he has gained\nthrough his pastoral work and formal education helps him comfort students in\ndistress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I really love to help people that just need a little\nextra help,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could include counseling students struggling with being\naway from home for the first time, or those facing difficulties in a relationship\n\u2014 or with loss. When a Transy student’s grandmother died and she couldn’t\ntravel home for the funeral, McClure was able to console her. “I love\nbeing able to do things like that,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work of caring began when he was still in high school. By then McClure, who had been involved with church his whole life, had developed an interest in public speaking, and he began filling in for a pastor at a church in Rockcastle County, where he’s from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later he went on to balance his ministerial role with other\njobs \u2014 including serving as a sheriff’s deputy and an interim park manager for\nthe William Whitley House State Historic Site in Lincoln County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Buena Vista<\/a>, which has more\nthan tripled attendance under his leadership, he puts an emphasis on assisting\nlocal families. “It’s really different than any church I’ve been at,”\nMcClure said. “It’s a very community-minded church.” They perform a\nvariety of outreach \u2014 from providing back-to-school clothing to families in\nneed, to helping job seekers write resumes, to offering free haircuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working for Transy\u2019s DPS<\/a> is another way for McClure to make a positive impact in a community. “Yes, we are here to enforce rules, laws and regulations \u2014 but we’re also here to help you with the other things that you’ve got going on as a student here,” he said. “That’s what I really want the students to be able to see \u00ad\u2014 DPS is more than just a regular law enforcement agency.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, he would like to expand the university’s Adopt a Dorm program, where each officer is assigned a residence hall and really gets to know the students living there and work closely with resident advisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, a few weeks ago McClure and a fellow officer visited\nLexington’s Winburn neighborhood, where, along with other agencies and Fayette\nCounty Public Schools, they hosted an event for kids to interact with officers\nin a positive way \u2014 for instance, they enjoyed hamburgers and hotdogs together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s through both an emphasis on community policing and the ministry that McClure can strengthen the bonds of a community and reach out to individuals in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Helping people has really been pretty much what I have\ndone almost all of my life,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
