And vice versa.A little off topic, but a few days ago I was on I45 during the morning commute when a "wide load" took up two lanes of traffic. The flatbed truck had two HPD motorcycle police escorts.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Actually no.

Having cops as part of the church security team is beneficial to all involved including the passing public when the cops are working traffic which makes for safer ingress and egress.
We've hired security in the past and will do so again in the future (I'm on the vestry), but we only do it for traffic control.
Downtown where I work, police are used to block traffic to let cars out. As the poster noted above, its a convenience for them only.
EDIT: I have nothing against the police. I don't think this is a police issue. Can you be "classed" as full time or is there some sort of standard that says you meet this full time requirement. Frankly who verifies this?
