The logo for the American Police Force, a mysterious security company that may or may not be taking over the town of Hardin, Montana is the same as a Serbian coat of arms.
APF appeared to be claiming jurisdiction over the town yesterday when three Mercedes SUVs belonging to the group arrived bearing Hardin Police markings. Trouble is, Hardin hasn't had a police department in 30 years and currently have a contract with the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office.
The mayor told the APF to remove the decals.
Michael Hilton, who might or might not be a spokesman for APF, said in a CBS/AP article that "the vehicles would be handed over to the city if it forms a police force of its own."
Free police cars sound too good to be true, especially considering that no contract has been signed, and the contract in question only covers the Hardin jail. Which interestingly enough, it was recently revealed that the company's operating agreement for the facility has yet to be validated - two weeks after city leaders first unveiled what they said was a signed agreement.
What did city leaders and APF agree to?
Hilton also said he planned a helicopter tour of the region in coming days to look at real estate for a planned tactical military training ground. He said 5,000 to 10,000 acres were needed to complement the training center, a $17 million project.
5,000 to 10,000 acres for what kind of training? This company claims the capability of fielding a battalion-sized team of special forces soldiers "within 72 hours," but who would they be training? Who will be conducting the training, and where would they come from?
APF said that the majority of their 200-plus employees (for a 464-cell jail) would be local hires, but the job fair that APF promised did not happen. They did, however, manage to hire a spokesman.
Becky Shay, a reporter for the Billings Gazette who covered events surrounding the jail since its construction. Shay said she intended to bring new transparency to the process, but declined to directly answer the first question posed to her: Where is American Police Force getting the money to operate the jail and build the training center?
I know enough about where the money is coming from to be confident signing on with them, she said.
Hilton said he also had a job discussion with Kerri Smith, wife of Two Rivers Authority Executive Director Greg Smith, who helped craft the deal to bring American Police Force to Hardin. Greg Smith was placed on unpaid leave two weeks ago for reasons that have not been explained.
Kerri Smith just so happens to be running for mayor of Hardin.
I don't want to sound like some black-helicopter, tinfoil-hat conspiracist, but there is apparently something grievously wrong with the American Police Force. Quite frankly, these unanswered questions and falsehoods surrounding the APF should have disqualified them from operating in Hardin.
A full investigation should be conducted on APF before they can establish a beachhead in the United States.

Are they competing with Blackwater?
I’m opposed to this kind of company doing law enforcement work inside the US. I’m not that happy about private prisons, for that matter, although there are several in my area.
Any town mayor who contracts with guys like this for a local police force should be voted out post haste. If you can’t afford a police force, deputize civilians.
I’d like to know more about what they’re doing. If they are training Afghans, then fine. If they are contracted with the State Department to train security for foreign war zones, or Iraqi police officers, or even spooks looking for Bin Ladin, then I don’t have a problem. If they are doing swat training even for US police, fine. But if they are going to contract to do law enforcement in the US then I do have a problem with it.
But read the links. This APF outfit has associations with Saudi Arabia.
Captain Michael Hilton's real name is Miodrag Dokovich. Emad (aka, Edward) Angelino has connections to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mohammad Abdalla doesn't sound remotely Serbian nor Christian to me nor does the name Maziar Mafti, the attorney for APF.

Muslim Brotherhood perhaps with moles in The White Hut. The MB is funded by the Saudis. They got their boy in the White Hut.
Somebody needs to get extensive photographs of these people and put them on the web. Detailed facial photographs.
Maybe Muslims from neighboring Albania putting Serbian crap on SUVs to fool people thinking they are Serbs.
Is there a GOP Senator or Congressman in Montana? Do they have a state police in MT?
Someone has said there is Saudi connections. Mercedes SUVs? Money. Blackwater would have Fords or GM. Wasn’t this prison going to be used to house Gitmo detainees?
This is the Saudis and probably through the Muslim Brotherhood. Someone mentioned their “american” sounding names but the real names looked like Albanian muslims who can look quite European. I bet the Saudis are behind this “company.”.
Montana’s congressman is Denny Rehberg. His site does not say Dem or Repub. We need more evidence and photos then take it to Congressman or Senator and the state police.
Where is this “company” incorporated? Who are the directors, management and shareholders?
Are they carrying guns?
You notice the website has all this swat looking stuff all over it, they present themselves as doing security in Afghanistan, and at the same time they are offering to do “cheaters” type spouse investigations. Smells like a wannabe with a gift of gab hoping he can put something together.
He'd have had a better chance if he had chosen a name that was more innocuous. “American Police Force” sounds like a South Park movie.
Still, worth keeping our eyes on these yahoos.
Yeah i see what you mean. I am not a huge South Park fan because it is so offensive.
I did like most of that movie including the songs “America Ef Yeah!”
Or the ode to Ben Affleck “Pearl Harbor (the movie) sucked and I miss you.”
or that country song “what would you do..”
All the lib actors getting killed at the end was good too. Stupid film but funny.
Yeah. I feel ashamed. But it was funny.
I don’t understand what it is APF does, it seems they do everything from finding cheating spouses to protecting Afghan convoys to weapons sales (”INTL ONLY”) including “WMD”??
