"Only other"? edit

The only other church in the world to have its own police force is St Peter's in Rome (The Swiss Guards).

The Washington National Cathedral has one too. [1] 208.127.133.116 (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

The out of context bit that was removed by Mauls[2] appears to have come from [3]. —Sladen (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Is this article misleading re Police status? edit

Information directly from York Minster appears to contradict a number of bits of this article. The correspondence can be found at [1].

The correspondence states: "'York Minster Police' is simply the name we use for York Minster’s in-house security team – no part of this organisation is a police force." Does the article need to be amended? Bowchaser (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

In addition to the sources cited in the article an article in the Daily Telegraph today confirmed that they have some form of policing powers[2]. Given the reports I think it's safe to say they are at least Accredited Persons, and quite possibly fully warranted Police Officers - but yes further investigation on the subject is needed IMHO.
