Alabama now allows churches to form their own police forces

Oh, magnificent.  Before long, we are going to have our own version of the Faith Militant.

Not while Trump is President.  He doesn't even know the meaning of Shame. Shame. Shame.

I don't have a problem with this.  (assuming they'd let any other group do the same)

Alabama does allow private schools (including church-affiliated ones) to have police forces which are only allowed to carry non-lethal weapons. Rather than provide general guidelines for them, they require each school to be authorized specifically by the Legislature. The only novelty of this law is that this is the first time they've authorized them for K-12 institutions instead of colleges.

Isn’t this literally just private security?

Yes.

Then it's not a police force.  It doesn't arrest people or enforce laws if that's the case.

It would do that. For example if anyone destroyed property on the school's premises then the could be arrested for vandalism. The same way you can be arrested by university police for destroying property on a university campus.

And that's basically all they'd be doing. Not enforcing some sort of theocratic code.

Not even "Thou shalt not steal"?
