American Police Force suddenly changes its name to "American Private Police Force"

BILLINGS - On Sunday morning, there were some visible changes to California-based security company American Police Force's website. What previously read "American Police Force" now uses the company's formal name "American Private Police Force."

Another notable change is the company's crest. The previous crest was a near copy of the Serbian Coat of Arms. On Friday, KULR-8 news first reported the Serbian government was looking into possible legal action against APF for using the crest.

The group's 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.

2. I would feel much better if President Obama would nip these Private army's in the bud....

As far as I can see, companies like Black Water are a threat to National Security and should be done away with. And of course that includes this newest company spawn as well.

3. Private police force? That is what the right wingers have planned next to deregulate
the USA and do away with taxes.

12. The rich already have private police forces in their 'gated communities'.
They send their kids to private schools, they pay for private health care. They are allready isolated from the population of the rest of the country and want to get out of paying school taxes and the like. No wonder they fund the right wing and the religious right. They are rogues. (Palin isn't...she's a patsy).

4. They still have the coat of arms on the
site banner. I kind of miss the playing of Bolero.

Yeah, the name change makes all the difference in the world. LOL

16. Yes, I too dream of that day. Or the difference between alluding and eluding.
In our local paper, an article said "the suspect alluded police".

14. APF leader Michael Hilton has used over a dozen aliases ...

Of course that should come as no surprise since Hilton has a long criminal record, including doing prison time for fraud.

11. As if our public police forces wasn't scary enough
I don't see how privatizing it would make it any worse than it already is.
