Camden County, 2008. AK47’s - BLACKWATER financed the buy - KEYWORD
Maj Jon Worthington worked as a firearms instructor with Blackwater then moved to Sheriff’s Department .
“Sheriff: they have never used AK-47’s outside of shooting ranges and no deputies qualified to use”.

Of course, they signed an agreement with an old friend - a “good corporate citizen”.
The beginning of the end for so many lives.....

Blackwater is answering the need - almost like 9/11 happened for a reason....domestic terrorism that is homegrown......

There is buckets of information about when this began. I’m sure others like @GreggSmithCO3 are probably more familiar with this but it feels like 9/11 was the catalyst and for a reason.
Here’s more to read on that.

Blackwater opened centers worldwide over time. To ensure they trained military and LE on how they do it.
They came from around the world.

I’m tired, will add more later.

By 2011, Blackwater was the largest contractor training Law Enforcement in the U.S. They had crept into counties and states and Mt. Carroll, IL facility was 80 acres in size.
Blackwater North

And this snippet from a good article I’ll post below about PMSC’s and they were routinely used by Homeland Security to guard the border in Texas and other areas.

It was part of a long strategy by Prince and the founders along with Republicans after 9/11 and over the years it became a nuisance to many, but the long game began for Blackwater to train and militarize Law Enforcement in the U.S.

This is an interesting article that spells out more detail if you’re interested.

So to the point @LincolnsBible made at the very top? It’s hard to find the specific departments, however, but it’s clear they found ways to motivate PD and Sheriff offices to use their facilities as part of the training.

With 5 LE training facilities in IL alone, their Blackwater North facility moved many LE through their doors.
Jo Daviess County Sheriff admits he sent officers there.
Locally? It was good for business.

By 2014, it had changed hands (probably not too far from the last hands) and became The Site.
It’s also important to note that Blackwater North State School opened during this time as well.

Each of these instructors works for a Police Department or Sheriffs office. Blackwaters work continues.
