American Police Force: Internet Scam?
What in Hades is going on in Montana? In April 2009, Two Rivers Authority and the Hardin City Council started looking into housing enemy combatants currently detained in Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo), Cuba. A few weeks later (May 15th), a business called the American Police Force (“APF”) registers the domain name AmericanPoliceGroup.com. The next thing you know, APF is trying to contract to operate a private jail and police training center for $27 million.
It seems that the detention facility was built but had no prisoners. APF offered to fill the jail and operate it.
Although no agreement has been reached because, among other issues, bondholders have rejected it, APF employees have apparently patrolled the streets of Hardin City in Mercedes SUVs with “Hardin City Police” decals on the sides of the vehicles…but there isn’t a city police department. Crime is handled by the county sheriff’s department.
Think about this for a minute. A private company with no government contract suddenly decides to play police in your home town. What would you do?
It gets better. The server for APF’s website happens to host Defense Product Solutions’ website. This company registered its domain name way back on June 19, 2009. Note that both APF and DPS use the double-headed eagle for their corporate logos. AlliedDefenseSystems.com (registered March 2007) appears to be a related site. This website’s administrative contact is Mohammad Abdalla. Mr. Abdalla is listed as the COO for this company in Anaheim, CA.
Here’s where it gets more strange. The admin e-mail is for a Mr. Edward Angelino, who just happens to be listed as a small business contact for Defense Logistics Services, Inc., a company that appears to be providing foreign military sales support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mr. Angelino has an interesting tracking record when it comes to both lawsuits and government contracts.
DESCRIPTION: Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Support to Kingdom of Saudia Arabia Logistical, Financial Management, Analysis, and Administrative Support
According to the California Secretary of State’s office, Defense Logistics Services, Inc. was formed in 2004 but is dissolved.
There is, however, an American Private Police Force Org Inc. that was incorporated March 2, 2009, and is based in Anaheim too. In addition to being the corporation’s agent for service of process, a Mr. Michael Hilton is the self-designated “Captain” of the APF.
The APF claims it is the subsidiary of a parent company but won’t identify the parent company or where APF is getting its money. The company’s Washington, D.C. address is a virtual office. Its Santa Ana, California office appears to be in an office complex with a Spanish-speaking church, a dental lab, and insurance agency.
Our main office is located in Washington D.C. and we service all 50 States and most Countries. Our experienced staff consists of highly experienced former law enforcement officers. – APF Website
Based on the above information, it seems that the websites are designed to create a much larger presence for American Police Force than actually exists. If there is actually adequate funding and professional personnel available to handle the construction and operation of a detention facility in Montana, the evidence for it isn’t readily available. If this is a scam, the government officials duped into supporting it should be thrown out of office. If the company is legit, there ought to be an investigation as to why it is patrolling the streets in vehicles with “police” decals when the employees are not municipal police. And if this is somehow a botched federal government operation to relocate Guantanamo Bay detainees, there should be Congressional hearings looking into what has occurred.

Even better.. the APF logo is an unedited Serbian Coat of Arms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Serbia
Thanks, JT, for catching that one.
The Serbian Coat of Arms? Yet another warning sign that APF may not be what it claims to be.

Did not President Obama have a town meeting, reference health care, in Hardin MT recently?
A story by KULR about this is updated as recently as today, ref the actions of APF, but the
detention facility has been under construction for some years.
Mule Train,
Thanks for the additional information re: the jail. Will update the post.
Re: Obama’s meeting. Know he had one in Belgrade, MT (Wall Street Journal story mentions it). Can’t confirm he had one in Hardin too.

This is what I found from a resident in that small Montana town.
”
This came to me from a faithful watchman!
WE ARE OUT OF TIME! CITY OF HARDIN & SURROUNDING AREA IS NOW BECOMING
A POLICE STATE!
THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN!
Dear Intercessors,
Things are moving so quickly and we are out of time! The spirit of
Pharaoh has entered our land! We have found out that our little town
of Hardin is the ‘test town’ for President Obama’s new law to
privatize the police force of local communities. Last night, the city
council voted to disband our sheriff’s department and to bring in a
private security company to police the town.
Interestingly, earlier in the day, the mayor when asked in an
interview about the privatization of our police department completely
denied it and said that would not be done with out a council meeting.
Then that evening, a council meeting was held in regards to that very
thing. At the beginning of this month, our local prison signed an
agreement with the American Police Force which is a subsidiary of a
larger private security force that the U.S. used in the Iraq war and
Hurricane Katrina.
Yesterday, a convoy of twelve ‘blacked out’ Mercedes Benz SUV’s were
brought into town. They were already painted with Hardin’s colors and
‘Hardin Police Force’ was already painted on them! Hardin’s sheriff’s
department will no longer be in operation after the month of October.
During October, the Sheriff’s Department is to train this new security
force in all the logistics of running the town of Hardin. If you go on
the American Police Force site, you might notice that the logo they
use is actually a Russian logo. I (Leilani) have been told that the
man who came with this new security force as the captain, has a thick
Russian accent.
Earlier this month, in an interview in regards to this Hardin prison
and the training center that they are planning to build, we were told
that seventy five percent of the security officers that were to be
trained would be ‘international’.
This private security force is already patrolling the town. They had
several people stopped yesterday. Also, it appears that they are
building some type of heavy duty gate at the entrances of our town.
In an interview, the American Police Force security has stated that
they will stay here one month to assess the population and then they
will make their permanent base here. They said they are scouting out
thirty towns in the U.S. but that Hardin is the first. Also, President
Obama has authorized and signed a bill for full government funding of
the privatization of the police departments throughout the U.S. By the
end of October, it is their plan to have all major cities locked down!
In an interview with one of the city council members, he stated that
this new H1N1 shot which has not been tested will be mandatory and if
a resident of our town refuses, they will be taken to our prison where
they will be quarantined. A federal law has been passed that makes it
mandatory that all health care workers have to take this new shot. If
they do not, they will automatically loose their jobs.
The new federal law that is in place makes gives you four choices in
regards to this new shot. One, you can voluntarily take it or you can
refuse and be taken to a place to be quarantined, or as an
alternative; if you refuse, you can have a chip placed in you to track
you or a tracking bracelet which cannot be taken off. The state
borders will be manned and locked down in the near future in regards
to this mandatory shot.
I (Leilani) am also told by a reliable source that today one of the
managers at a local business in Hardin was visited by this new private
security force which is now the new Hardin Police Department. He is an
avid hunter and they came to inform him that they had a list of all
fire arms that he owned; this includes all the residents of our town,
and that he would need to take his guns down to have them put a
marking device on them.
Also, today, one of the main streets in Hardin was completely blocked
off and they have been setting up information booths where they are
passing out pamphlets with information on this new H1N1 shot.
Intercessors, I am not making up any of this information! You can go
on the internet and verify most of this information from KULR 8, MSNBC
or Fox news. Things have changed so quickly in the last 24 hours!
Things are not and will never be the same. We are indeed going into
the prophesied ‘four years of captivity for America’. I (Leilani)
believe we are about to enter into a time of persecution that the
Church in America has never known! We must prepare! The good news is
that this is also the time when the Glory of God will manifest itself
in a way we have never known!
In His Service,

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is
risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and
deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His
glory will be seen upon you.”
Isaiah 60:1
“…We must remember: how we vote is how we will be visited. In the
Greek, the word for ‘visitation’ is linked not only with the concept
of overseeing but also with casting a vote. People who live in a
nation with a democratic process that forms how they are governed are
allowed by a holy God who rules the earth to choose their future. We,
like Israel of old, can demand a king and then wake up one morning and
see that those whom we have chosen have now made choices for us that
are detrimental to our future…
As the word of God says in 1 Samuel 8:18, the Lord warned the people
that if they chose a king who was not His choice, the following would
happen: “You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you
have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that
day.” We can always make a choice that will be detrimental to our
lives in days ahead…The factor of time causes our true hearts to be
seen and the consequences of our choices to manifest.”
Great job Mr. Young. You will notice that “Captain Michael Hilton” is of Montenegrin descent. As such, why would he be using Serbian Coat of Arms on everything?
“Captain” Michael’s real name is Miodrag Dokovich. Two bankruptcy filings in CA (Santa Ana). Not looking like a very good businessperson to trust. Wonder where the money’s coming from?
Did anyone else notice when reading over the company’s site that it is obviously written by a person whose first language is NOT English? Couldn’t they even find an American to write the copy so that it would appear more professional?
May I refer you to a website by http://blogs.myspace.com/tom_heneghan_intel
In doing a search on Mohammad Abdallah from Anaheim (COO of Allied Defense Systems), I came across this Mohammad Abdallah who opened Abdallah’s Al Huda Meat and Deli in Anaheim.
http://articles.latimes.com/2004/mar/01/local/me-peeled1
This same Mohammad Abadallah was one of the recipients of campaign refunds from the McCain Campaign.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/aug/08/nation/na-mccainmoney8
Is this the same Mohammad Abdallah who owns Allied Defense Systems? I would assume that there are not very many Mohammad Abdullah’s in Anaheim, California.
kat – I noticed that, too. The AmericanPoliceGroup site has several mispellings of “kidknapping.”
The related “DPSNA.com” offers “Explosive Ordinance Disposal” (*not Ordnance, which is correct.). Not to mention several “it’s” violations. Amateurish.
And the APF domain is only registered for one year. Low budget?
Any of them related to International ACORN?
Testing the fences?
I’m not buying this spin everybody is putting on this story since tonight.
Another thing everyone keeps missing is why was the prison built in the first place? Who paid for it? A company being founded within a year doesn’t say much. How long has Xe been around? Everybody knows how these mercenary contractors operate.

The man you refer to, Michael Hilton, refers to himself as “Captain Michael” from MONTENEGRO in this AP story:
Hardin jail inks contract with California company for inmates, other services
http://www.billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_d8ef760a-9e10-11de-8890-001cc4c002e0.html
“In Santa Ana, American Police Force occupies a single suite on the second floor of a two-story office building. During a visit to the location Thursday, a reporter for The Associated Press encountered a uniformed man behind a desk who would identify himself only as ‘Captain Michael.’
“The man declined to discuss basic details about the company and referred the reporter to the company’s Web site. In a subsequent phone interview, he provided his surname but insisted it not be used because of security concerns. The man said he was a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Montenegro with decades of experience in military and law enforcement operations.”
Scamsters from the Balkans?
Help!!!!!
I feel this is a scam. The Montana constitution Article 2, section 32 and 33 prohibits bringing in an army OR a police force without the consent of our legislature. So this is unconstitutional !. We need help in getting our legislators to do their duty.
Thank you
Honesty compassion intelligence guts?
We have an ongoing American Holocaust.
Do you still want to believe what you? were told about 9/11?
The guilty are busy importing private mercenaries to hide behind.
