I can see the need for Churchs and schools needing security. They are gun free zones, so they are targets.

May not be popular but it's nothing more than a private police force.

They will be APOSTC certified officers and colleges and hospitals have done it before. What they will learn is that many of the entities that did it before found out that it is very expensive to keep officers certified every year.
I thought I read that they were only going to have a small number of officers as their employees, maybe a "chief" and assistant chief" and still hire off duty officers as needed from the local agencies for the bigger events.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I think it also applies to their school, too. This has been in the works for months, but had to be approved. May be coincidence, but I think this started after the school made news after a drug bust. Their opinion is to have their own force, similar to public schools having officers assigned to them. Public perception is they're trying to keep their dirty laundry from being aired at the school. That's what I understand. They had a drug bust by Shelby county at the high school and right after that, the private police force came up.

Briarwood is my church. Talk of an official police force was going on well before the drug bust at Briarwood Christian High School. We've had an unofficial security team of plain clothes officers and several federal LEOs for a long time. Plus individual church members are part of the team as concealed carry.
Briarwood is a very large church with multiple buildings and a school. There are events, classes and bible studies going on 7 days a week. There have been incidents in the past in the parking lots and buildings. Plus the school issues.
A private police force is a way to offer security and extra safety for the members, students and visitors.

That is a terrible idea. Separation of church and state comes to mind. I don't see anything wrong with it as long as they are willing to take on the numerous greater responsibilities that a LEO agency has over a security force. Their liability is going up (greater belief of perfection), the cost is going up and expectations are going up. Like I said, nothing wrong with it if they are willing to go all the way with it, but it isn't going to fix whatever they were trying to fix.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Guys, right now we have one part time police officer who serves the church, the seminary, the schools and other building on two campuses. He has a job as a LEO with a local jurisdiction. We then hire off duty officers as needed.
The goal is to make the part time guy full time with car and hire some part time guys too...all certified LEO.
Similar to private colleges have their own police force...that's all this is.

Sadly, the school/church is going to get bad publicity over this because they will be accused of trying to cover up their drug troubles at their high school. I won't say what position they hold, but I know two individuals who are very high in the law enforcement and judicial system, in Shelby County. Both have told me there isn't a public school in Shelby County that can hold a candle to Briarwood when it comes to drug problems. Both have told me you just don't hear about it because the school keeps it covered up. Both have also told me when they (these two individuals) are notified, and called in, that the parents defend their child's actions to the end, regardless of evidence. With the "police force" being employed by the school, the possibility is there for the school to pressure the officers to do things their way. Let me go on the record here by saying though these two sources are extremely reliable in my opinion, I can not confirm, nor discredit, their claims.
