Does anyone know how to catch a policy exception that is thrown on the server
side from within my web service? For example, I may want to catch any
PolicyVerificationException exceptions that are thrown by the policy
mechanism so that I can log the event on the server. This way the admin
knows if someone keeps constantly trying to access the web service in an
insecure fashion.

The WSE supports policy tracing through the following configuration element:

/configuration/microsoft.web.services2/policyTrace

Policy tracing allows you to observe enforcement & verification at runtime;
where it succeeded, where it failed, etc. Very, very useful - strongly
recommended.
