On Friday, February 28, 2020, a media spokesperson for the NYPD confirmed that Brendan McLoughlin had officially retired, according to “Fox News.” Sergeant Jessica McRorie, an NYPD DCPI spokesperson confirmed the news stating:

"His [McLoughlin’s] current duty status is retired"

Before he left the force, the police officer had taken a months-long leave of absence from the department last summer. The newly-weds will now be spending more time together as McLoughlin has taken a job with his wife.

According to eyewitnesses, the former policeman was recently seen working as a security guard at Lambert's meet-and-greet venues. A witness claimed that McLoughlin was overseeing lines of fans and checking bags at his wife's February 7, 2020, concert in Tusla, Oklahoma.

The insider said: "Brendan was the security guard right before you go in to meet Miranda for her meet and greet." Security teams allegedly told fans they couldn’t take photos of the “Vice” singer’s husband.

During the same week, a second eyewitness saw McLoughlin assisting Lambert's security team at her concert at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The country singer’s husband reportedly asked fans if they had anything they wanted his wife to sign.
