Font Size:Default font sizeLarger font size BOB ZELLAR/Gazette Staff Hardin officials began construction on the $27 million Two Rivers Detention Facility in June 2006, and it was completed in September 2007. . .Related Links Related: American Police Force The Two Rivers Detention Center was promoted as the largest economic development project in decades in the small town of Hardin when the jail was built two years ago. But it has been vacant ever since.

[Beloved Levinite]

We need to investigate just who American Police Force is, and what they are up to. They have Serbian logos on their uniforms!

[FreeStateYank]

Very weird. American Police Force’s website plays ‘Bolero’. Yet another weird thing.

[Rapscallion]

American Police Force looks like a “false storefront” fraud.

[WVNan]

and a leader with a Muslim name. Not looking good.

[Constitution Day]

There have been plenty of people obsessed with Serbia on this site ever since I’ve been reading FR.

Someone should be able to point you in the right direction.

[NeoCaveman]

This story seems to be about the weirdest thing I’ve seen on FR, ever.

The most benign possibility is that this town is being defrauded by small town crooks who can’t even design a decent website. The other possibilities seem too tin foil-ish

[TexasCajun]

The web site is scrubbed clean.

I saw a blog post ealier that a cache/screen copy of the home page.

[Constitution Day]

I don’t know about the weirdest thing EVER on FR. That is a pretty high bar to surmount!

But it IS very, very strange. Very. I don’t even want to consider the tin-foil ramifications.

[NeoCaveman]

Weirdest thing, excluding vanities.

(we’ve had some good ones of those)

[TChris]

You've echoed my thoughts precisely.

I can't wait to see what this turns out to be.

[Constitution Day]

An attorney for American Police Force, Maziar Mafi, describes the Santa Ana, Calif., company as a fledgling spin-off of a major security firm founded in 1984.

In 2000, Mafi ran for US Congress in California's 47th Congressional District.

[texmexis best]

I would think the first place to start would be Richard Culver.

Hard to tell, but it doesn’t look like a good development for Hardin.

[texmexis best]

Lots of small companies have virtual offices, particularly in DC. It is not at all unusual. That is not really a consideration.

You think it’s Obama’s brownshirts?

[freekitty]

I googled American Police Force and that’s what came up.

[Bullfrogg]

Its part of Obama Care....a blck nazi concentration camp
for those who dont agreewith what he says or do....

[HKMk23]

Anyone wanna start a pool on how long it’ll be before we discover that “American Police Force” is a front for a group that sponsors terrorists?

[LibertyRocks]

Lots MORE INFO. on this PREVIOUS THREAD:

APF(American Police Force) Show Up IN HARDIN, Montana-Comandeer Jurisdiction

And, on that site they are referring to it as an Albanian symbol, like the Albanian KLA terrorist group that plotted to bomb Fort Dix.

Whatever is going on here it is NOT GOOD. These folks were NEVER hired to police the town and they showed up in SUVs marked as "Hardin Police Department" even though there is NO SIGNED CONTRACT, yet. They were pulling people over, and according to a shopkeeper members of this group came to his store, told him they knew about all the weapons he owned, and that he would have to bring them down to their office to be "tagged"... Also, that they are building GATES to the town itself!

I don't know what the story is, but it stinks, really badly. Someone has got to get to the bottom of this and quick because this is like something out of the TV series Jericho with this "police force"...

[LibertyRocks]

See post #20, and the other thread linked.

[texmexis best]

If anyone has access to contract files, please look up “Allied Defense Systems”. They may be related.

Something is rotten in river city.

A Black Water type organization of ex US military or something for more sinister.

I could make an educated guess, but if I guessed right, I’d have to ...

Maziar Mafi (the article misspelled his name) is an immigration attorney.

Montana Constitution, Article II:
Section 33. Importation of armed persons. No armed person or persons or
armed body of men shall be brought into this state for the preservation
of the peace, or the suppression of domestic violence, except upon the
application of the legislature, or of the governor when the legislature
cannot be convened.

Interesting... Looks to me like somebody is in some hot water here..

A Black Water type organization of ex US military or something for more sinister.

Utilizing private contractors for law enforcement is not a good idea, no matter if the firm is "reputable", or not. Such mercenaries (and that is what they are, at the end of the day) usually have little or no understanding, nor willingness to adhere to the Constitution. Not a good thing...

[freekitty]

Just why did they build this prison. I understand private prisons don’t work. Always some big problems.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

They (town officials) apparently have been trying to bring Gitmo prisoners to town, possibly not realizing that a typical US Government contractor, otherwise known as a Beltway Bandit, would be involved.

If there is anything to this, one of the real possibilities is that the feds are setting up Gitmo North. I’ve been to Hardin, in the winter, yet and I’d have to say that if that’s true, the detainees are going to miss Cuba in a big way!

[freekitty]

I agree.

[presently no screen name]

I’m thinking something more sinister.

[GOPJ]

American Police Force’s website plays ‘Bolero’. Yet another weird thing.

You're right - that's weird.

[WVNan]

Sinister, yes. Anything with a Muslim name attached to it sets off very loud alarm bells. Add that Muslim name to “American Police Force” = (what was the one’s name for it?) Domestic Security Force? Why the secrecy? Why do I feel Muslim influence taking over America? Why is the o’boy racking up one Muslim connection after another? So many questions.........

[XenaLee]

I wonder....what’s the deal with the Darth Vader-style gas mask? That AND ‘check your mate’ cheating spouses....all to the tune of Bolero?

This has got to be a joke. Nobody legit could/would be that cheesy.

[EverOnward]

This is rich. Al Jazeera has already done a story on their pretty new prison.

"They have Serbian logos on their uniforms!"

Also looks like Scottish Rite logos and any number of logos using the double-eagle insignia. Not any one particlar group. Just looks snazzy and official.

The services they offer is a mix of industrial security, private investigations, asset protection and just about anything you could ask for in a one-stop cop shop.

Geared to look official enough to impress even the casual shopper.

I'm surprised they don't have their own spook catalog yet. It's big business and this over-zealous outfit appears to have all the bases covered.

They shoulda done some simple checking before they invested so much money. At least a cursury look at the states's constitution would have saved them a lot of heartache down the road.

My prediction? This'll be tied up forever and will never get off the ground in it's present form for it's present purpose.

It rates a couple of giggles and one hearty guffaw.

[Steve Van Doorn]

They have 3400 people in Hardin and opening a prison that can handle 2000. Who is paying for it?
