Frequently Asked Questions
Why is St. Michael the patron saint of police officers?
St. Michael the Archangel is venerated as the leader of God's heavenly army and the protector of the faithful against evil. His role as a warrior and guardian makes him a natural patron for those in law enforcement, the military, and all who put themselves in harm's way to protect others. Pope Leo XIII's famous prayer to St. Michael has long been associated with spiritual protection in dangerous vocations.
Is this medal appropriate for women as well as men?
Yes. While ideally sized for a man, women who prefer a larger, more substantial medal will find this piece equally wearable. The shield shape and silver-tone finish are classic and versatile.
What does the prayer card say?
The front of the card features a full-color image of St. Michael the Archangel slaying the devil. The back carries the Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael — a beloved prayer asking for cool heads, wise judgment, and protection in the line of duty, ending with a petition to one day guard the throne of God as faithfully as they guarded their city.
Is this a good gift for a police officer, deputy, or federal agent?
Absolutely. This set is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to a law enforcement officer of any faith — for graduation from the academy, a promotion, a retirement, Christmas, or simply as a token of gratitude and prayer for their safety.
Is the medal suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. The non-tarnishing pewter holds its silver-tone finish well under daily wear, and the 24" curb chain with clasp is durable and easy to use. Simply wipe clean with a soft cloth as needed.
The Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel:
Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eyes on your earthly force. Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgement.
Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.
And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people. Amen.
