A mega church was traditionally a catherdral, and in terms of cathedral police there are four cathedral constabularies in England, and they can trace their history back to the 13th Century.
In terms of guns, the vast majority of police in England don't carry them, and the Cathedral Constabulary are o exception, although they can call on units from the regular police including armed police if needed.

On the broader subject of church security.
Personally, I have no problem with it. My first comment was a response to the first 2 or 3 posts in this thread.
Even so, in this day and age, churches should hire professional security to protect the worshipers; meaning they have a lot of depth and breath of law enforcement experience.
Alabama is one state that is the closest thing to a third world country we have in the USA. They should have signs tha you are leaving the US when you enter Alabama.
My church, weekend attendance 10,000 has a armed guard. Our liberal feel good compassionate when it comes to the homeless politicians policies have caused it to get out of control.
I'd shoot myself if I had to be in a space with that many people.
I'm certainly not a Roy Moore fan. I'm agnostic. I'm not a Trump supporter, and I'm not a Republican, but after reading this thread, I wonder how many of the people who are criticizing Alabama in a general sense in this thread have ever been there or have ever spent more than a few days there.
At this point, Alabama's powers that be should just come out and make this speech.
""The KINGDOM of God is NOT a democracy! NOR is it a Constitutional Republic! The LORD does NOT run for reelection. Because man was made in God's image, it follows that we should be governed by a government in God's image. Therefore, we need to establish a monarchy in place of a Constitutional Republic. Constitutional Republics, by definition, are an attempt to overthrow God's Holy laws and sovereignty and put it into the hands of MAN! In fact, the United States Constitution itself is the inspired word of Satan. The Founding Fathers of this wicked iniquitous nation only said Creator, not God, much less Jesus. All this means we worship MAN and his wicked sinfulness and allow disrespect for God's appointed authorities (in a non-democracy) to create a climate of Hooliganism! We are here to reestablish the Christian society that existed in Colonial America - We are NOT the United States of America! We are the Faithful Vassalage of the Kingdom of God!"
And Republicans would respond with applause and would bash anybody who dared to criticize it.

I grew up there. I have no desire to ever return. That's just the way I feel.
