dbo:abstract
  • American Police Force (APF), and under its revised name American Private Police Force, was a fraudulent entity claiming to be a private military company. It never possessed any legitimacy to operate in the United States. The company's previous logo was an exact copy of the Serbian state coat of arms which caused some controversy and resulted in the Serbian government threatening legal action against APF if it did not remove or change the logo. In September 2009, US government contract databases showed no record of the company, while security industry representatives and federal officials said they had never heard of it. APF was registered as a corporation in California by convicted con man Michael Hilton on 2 March 2009. However, the company did not have a business license to operate in California or Montana. Hilton was also discovered to have an extensive criminal history. Services offered by APF included "interdicting terror activity, interdicting weapons of mass destruction, international airline security, cheating spouse investigations, polygraph testing, kidnapping response, and weapons sales, including 'Nuclear/Biological/Chemical (WMD).'" On October 5, 2009, Academi (formerly Blackwater and Xe) denied being affiliated with APF. (en)
