Bham Church Seeks to Establish Police Force
- Thread starter jthomas666
- Start date
Which is what they will be doing. Surprising that no one is excited about the taxpayers not having to foot the bill for additional law enforcement.
Here ya go:

They fall under a STATE run institution with board members appointed by an elected official. Nowhere near the same as a private entity that might eventually report to a state agency and you know it.
You can call them "private", but the force will not be private. Reference my next post.

The Briarwood police would similarly be subjected to public officials. They would be constituted by the legislature and the governor and would be subject to elimination by the same.
Show me the organizational chart then.
P.S. While you're at it, show me who will sign their paychecks.
I've already shown you who will sign their paychecks. And at the top of the org chart is the state legislature and the governor, which is the same for Chief John Hooks.
I went to Birmingham-Southern College. They had (and I assume still do) their own police.

If Chief John Hook were to comprise the Briarwood force, this might be a relevant answer. But the question was about who would be the force's *immediate* supervisor. Who would they go to with questions about procedures and responses? From the original article:
So while the organization chart would be *pretty much the same* as the Bham police chart, the church itself would be between the force and the Bham police.

Campus police are the same as regular police in the state.
I think the difference in this particular case is that Briarwood wants to actually have a police force like Southern Co., Mercedes, and other private organizations. I think the differences in the two I named is that Southern Co is protecting key infrastructure, and Mercedes has a FTZ. Briarwood is a bit different in that they are a church/private school. I think maybe an armed security and 1 or 2 police officers would be enough, but I don't think their situation requires a police force.
Maybe if they quit letting their kids skate on the petty stuff and instill a little discipline in them, it wouldn't have gone this far.
I'm reminded here of the Andy Griffith episode of the rich kid who rides his bicycle on the sidewalk. What he really needs is a trip out back to the woodshed.
Briarwood School has a fairly significant drug problem. I'd bet this an attempt to make it easier for them to sweep problems under the rug by not involving "outside" authorities.

It does seem a little strange that a church would want to involve an arm of the state in their matters. I'd assume the officers would be sworn peace officers under the state, but whose laws would they enforce? I suppose that's one way to get tithing up!
And of course the uniforms would be fab-u-lous!

I'd forgotten about that incident. But it's exactly the kind of stuff I was talking about in my earlier post.
