Details of a public funeral service for the longtime Las Vegas police volunteer and chaplain who died Aug. 5 have been announced.

Services for the late chaplain Bonnie Polley will be held on at 3 p.m. Thursday at Christ Church Episcopal at 2000 S. Maryland Parkway.

“We encourage you to come and say goodbye to our dear friend,” said a tweet from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.

Polley volunteered with Metro for almost two decades before accepting a position in 2005 as the religious coordinator and chaplain at the Clark County Detention Center.

She died at home of natural causes, according to the department. Polley was 83.
