Recently on the podcast I had a pleasure of speaking with two Catholic cops (one retired) on their new lay apostolate for patrolmen. From what they told me, this is an important movement under the patronage of St. Michael that can really help our law enforcement. Any cops can join the fraternity, but it is also not for the faint hearted.
