Liverpool is on of the few Cathedrals that have retained
a private police force. There are currently 10 Officers who look
after the Cathedral and the nearby University.

10 is a lot more than we have here in Oakham

The Constables are trained by Mersey Tunnel Police
another private police force

The Cathedral Constables attested as a Constable by making a declaration before a Justice of the Peace, and have the same powers of 
arrest as Home Office Police;
Cathedral Constables 
have been around a lot longer.

King Edward I (1239 - 1307),  granted cathedral Deans the authority  to appoint constables 

They also have additional powers granted by church law and acts.
