(Worthy News) – An Alabama megachurch is slated to have its own police force by the fall after Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill into a law that allows it to do just that.
The law permits Briarwood Presbyterian Church to “appoint and employ one or more suitable persons to act as police officers to protect the property of the school or academy.”
Officials in Briarwood Presbetyrian church say the law is crucial to protect its 4,100 members, including 2,000 students and faculty on its two campuses, according to CNN. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
