Although we can not see any compatibility between the police activity and an active and healthy religiosity, "the tip of the iceberg" appeared when we became aware of the "Jesus Police Group" (GPJ), a consortium of civilian police aimed at providing spiritual support not only to officials of its category but also to other public agents of the security forces. In this sense, we will do a research by the Sciences of the Religion, which we will try to interpret if the religious message that the leaders have proclaimed is relevant to the policemen who participate of him, to the point of changing his police view of crime, the criminal and his own modus operandi, or if it is just another whimsical institution. In order for us to reach this conclusion, we will take the group as an object of study and investigate whether the agents of the Paulista Judicial Police (Civil Police of the State of São Paulo) and other public security agents and who are part of the Police of Jesus Group GPJ) have their practice shaped by a religious ethic that set them apart from other police officers, with a more pacifist discourse, but without cooling down in their legal duty.
