BILLINGS - American Police Force officials showed up in Mercedes SUV's that had "Hardin Police" stenciled on the vehicles. The twist, the city of Hardin doesn't have a police department. Two Rivers Authority officials say having APF patrol the streets was never part of their agenda. "I have no idea. I really don't because that's not been a part of any of the discussions we've had with any of them," said Two Rivers Authority's Al Peterson. As it stands now the Big Horn County Sheriff's Department is contracted to patrol the city and APF has no jurisdiction. If that was changed Peterson says it would have to go through the city council. As for the jail contract with APF, both sides are yet to agree to a deal as bondholders rejected it again on Thursday morning. "It's a complicated issue there are a lot of tax laws to work through we were hoping to get it by Tuesday night now we're hoping to get it by Friday night," said Peterson. Officials say the contract only deals with the detention facility and a police training center. There's no mention of a homeless shelter, animal shelter, or any services for the area. "That was never in the contract to begin with. I think it was on a wish list of what Captain Michael wanted to do here," said Peterson. American Police Force officials plan to stay in the area for the next month.
You think the use of Serbians is related to the AQ “Lily White” strategy?
Exactly what I posted on a Facebook thread earlier.
Nuts!
I wouldn't be surprised.
This is interesting. The header on their web pages all read:
“American Police Force - Private Investigators Information Orange County, CA”
Are they licensed? Are they a jumped-up PI firm digging for some stimulus dollars?
Can you ping me when you do? Thanks.
And they scoff at Wal*Mart...

American Police Force also is promising to invest $30 million in new projects for the city, including a military and law enforcement training center with a 250-bed dormitory and an expansion of the jail to 2,000 beds. The company says it will build a homeless shelter, offer free health care for city residents and even deliver meals to the needy.

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 [part of Yugoslavia, i.e., Serbia] with decades of experience in military and law enforcement operations.
The “Captain Michael” of APF (referenced in the post above) is from Montenegro, very close to Albania in the Balkan region.
Some of the various double headed eagle images posted here for comparison:

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.
The crown over the double headed eagle makes one wonder what kind affiliations these clowns have.
ping
was it a real news article?
Thanks for the link and the comparisons.
When I see double headed eagles, I don’t think of our one headed American Eagle icons.
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.
If those imports are actually there, the Montana governor and legislature should send the state police and Nation Guard in to remove them, unless the legislature and governor gave the imports an approval.
Impersonating a law enforcement official I am sure is a felony in Montana. Why are these idiots not in jail???
This all sounds like an episode of Jericho! WTH? If I were the residents I’d be contacting the Governor, the State National Guard, and all your Reps and Congressmen. I would also consider calling the FBI, the JTTF, Homeland Security, etc... Anyone and everyone in a position to help. Surely even through contacting these various agencies someone is bound to say SOMETHING that could lend information inadvertently as to exactly what is going on there.
Too many strange things with this group. With the whole Serbian Coat of Arms insignia it makes it even more frightening. If the residents can’t get answers, I’d get the H out of town — or get THEM the H out of THEIR town! One or the other.

Well, if the people of Montana are even remotely cowboy as people claim, these clowns would be run out of town by now or even dead.
Hear, hear! That’s what my husband and I said to each other over the last 6 mos. he’s been off work...
We’d rather be poor, starving and FREE, than well-fed slaves...
