Monday, October 5, 2009 In response to growing criticism and suspicion, American Police Force has changed its name, changed its logo and altered several areas of its website in an attempt to diffuse tension surrounding the private paramilitary organization that wants to take over law enforcement duties while bossing a $27 million dollar detention facility in Hardin, Montana.

Following threats of legal action on behalf of the government of Serbia against APF for using a near copy of the Serbian Coat of Arms, on Sunday the logo was changed although it still remains a double-headed eagle, which is widely accepted as signifying imperial power, not something many would be comfortable with for an organization that wants to provide law enforcement.

In addition, the company has changed its name from American Police Force to American Private Police Force.

The organization has also changed the language on its website and altered the claim that it runs the U.S. Training Center, which is actually controlled by Blackwater.

The previous statement on this page read, Our extensive tactical firearms training facility, the U.S. Training Center is capable of providing a wide range of instruction and training for all types of law enforcement organizations, a passage that was lifted directly from the Blackwater or Xe website.

Following rumors of threats from Blackwater, the page now reads, Our extensive tactical firearms training facility (ETA Spring 2010) will be capable of providing a wide range of instruction and training for all types of law enforcement organizations.

Why APF originally claimed that they already had a training center, whereas now they say it wont even be ready until 2010, is just another one of the bizarre mysteries surrounding the organization.

The groups leader, Capt. Michael Hilton said the crest was a family emblem and he used it to honor his grandfather. APF Spokeswoman Becky Shay said she is not aware of any lawsuit from the consulate and Hilton made the change as, the quickest thing he could to diffuse tension with the old logo. She would not elaborate on exactly what those tensions were, reports KURL 8 News.

There has been a noticeable effort on behalf of APF over the last few days to portray themselves as victims of a media harassment campaign, particularly heaping blame on Alex Jones and his crew for being persistent in demanding answers from the organization. The people of Hardin need to understand that the last people to wake up to being scammed are those who have been targeted by the scam, known as the mark. In this case, the media is their friend, not their enemy and people in the town need to come to this realization before its too late.

This attempt to shift the emphasis of the story has also served to distract from the core issue behind the whole saga that Hardin is close to turning over a $27 million dollar detention camp as well as responsibility for policing the town, to a career criminal and a convicted fraudster who Wyoming authorities still have an arrest warrant out for. This fact alone should torpedo the whole deal and ensure APF never realize their agenda to implement similar schemes in dozens more towns and cities across America.

Two Rivers Authority board members will meet today to discuss the contract with APPF to man the $27 million dollar detention facility in Hardin. The meeting will take place at the Hardin City Hall from 3pm and is open to the public.

"Following threats of legal action on behalf of the government of Serbia against APF for using a near copy of the Serbian Coat of Arms"

It wasn't a "near" copy... It was an exact copy...
And even of the new one, that indeed appears to look like russian, has the cyrillic "S" which vrites as "C".

The TRC should be the first detainees in their own Prison. All of Hardin needs to get a class action suit and strip all those involved of their homes cars and bank accounts, they would do it to you in a heart beat, that was the next step the the TRA plans. Charges and the rape of the locals and then sale off others property and on and on. All of Hardin needs to push to have their own investigation into the so called Two Rivers Boss Hogs. You were the first victims.

Try"Divert attention." (Note the imperial double-headed eagle and the imperial crown. This is the opposite of what our Founders fought for in 1776. The lazy reporters should have dug out that the "Captain" is an ex-con; who actually owns APF?, where it is incorporated, its owners, etc.. They could not even elicit anyone's last name. This place is not about housing Gitmo detainees- it is about caging dissenters, IMHO
