So a police force in that they police the grounds of the church not a Police force in that they enforce the laws of State and Country and have their authority granted to them by said State/country. Specifically they would be able to remove intruders and prevent trespass aka exactly what security guards do. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/20/734591147/new-alabama-law-permits-church-to-hire-its-own-police-force I can see this law getting annulled in the future for violating the Constitution. This is specifically what they were talking about when they mentioned the separation of church and state. The whole point was so that religious institutions wouldn't be able to legally enforce and punish people who may have broken a religious law but not a secular law. Of course the flip side is true too. That the secular government can't punish people of a religion, as long as they don't violate secular law, simply because of their religion.
