"This is the strange story of how American Police Force, a little known company which claims to specialize in training military and security forces overseas, has seemingly taken control of a $27 million, never-used jail, and a rural Montana town's nonexistent police force."

"more than 200 employees would be sought for the jail and a proposed military and law enforcement training center."

After arriving in this tiny city with three Mercedes SUVs marked with the logo of a police department that has never existed, representatives of the obscure California security company said preparations were under way to take over Hardin's jail, which has no prisoners.

Significant obstacles remain - including a lack of any contracts to acquire prisoners from other jails or other states.

And on Friday came the revelation the company's operating agreement for the facility has yet to be validated - two weeks after city leaders first unveiled what they said was a signed agreement.

Check out their web site, it is a little strange to say the least.

First thing - get a new name. Harperly Prisoner of War Camp. shsssh. Sounds like the kind of place where your torture is to not get cake with tea.

I'm sorry, 101chairpuppy, I just can't keep your secret. Folks, he is buying this hotel. He's got a real classy name already picked out, 'Butt Hump Hotel'. He's fixin' the rooms up with real nice with chains and throw pillows. rents them out to S&M people (which seem to have a inordinate high percentage among his acquaitance, it's a coincidence I'm sure...i'm just saying....).

His slogan is gonna be,

Butt Hump Hotel,
Come for the Fun,
Come For the Pain,
But if you Come early,
It still cost the same.

To the fear mongering loons of posts #1 & #2;

You conveniently seemed to have left out 'the rest of the story'.

Good day.

The agreement with American Police Force has been heavily promoted by members of the city's economic development branch, the Two Rivers Authority. Authority Vice President Albert Peterson on Friday repeated his claim to be "100 percent" confident in the company.

The lead public figure for American Police Force, Michael Hilton, said more than 200 employees would be sought for the jail and a proposed military and law enforcement training center.
