Amid tensions, Doris Smith is pastor and police
She’s a plainclothes cop, but on Sunday mornings she wears a uniform: her clergy robe and stole.
Doris Smith, 49, works full time as a Dallas police detective while serving as a part-time licensed local pastor, leading Warren Chapel United Methodist Church in Terrell, Texas.
When not solving cases or working on her studies in the part-time education program for local pastors, she’s preaching, teaching, counseling, and visiting the sick.
