Ex International Web Police Members Speak Out!

Police Capt. Chet Bowen

Please find below the contents of an e-mail which Chet Bowen kindly gave us his permission to publish on this site. Chet Bowen is a real Police Captain with a real U.S. Police Department.

Been a while since I have wrote and made any comments in regards to
P/H. I needed a little time to mull it over my mind, then decide to
tell the whole shabang when I do speak. I have finally resolved
myself that 'truth' is the most important thing and exposing the 'web
police' for what they really are is long overdue. So I'm going to
give you the gist on what I know and I'm seriously thinking of
contacting media sources and reveal the detrimental effect that such
a web site can and does inherently pose as a con game, not to mention
a threat to the Internet community.

First of all, myself and a couple of other genuine Police Officers
were duped into thinking Web Police were the real thing. This was
around 1996. After a couple of months, myself and a senior officer
with the South Australian Police got together and put two and two
together and found that the 'Web Police' was a farce and danger to
the public. I also contacted the other Police Officer who happens to
be a detective with the State of Ohio and detailed my findings of
illegal activity being conducted under the direct supervision of one
Peter Hampton himself.

1) He has for a fact...posted 'complaints' openly on his web site
with url's that contained pornographic material to be viewed by every
web citizen, not to mention minors who were 'members' of his so
called youth program.

2) He caused a very outstanding lady (whom I can't name because she
fears retaliation) to move from her home state and relocate to
Indiana. Mr. Hampton had swindled her out of every dime she had and
left her so broke, she couldn't even move back home.

3) He has caused another female from Canada to move and was last
known to be in Florida very near to Peter Hampton. Her relationship
is unknown at this time, but I will disclose her name as 'Dusty
Allen'.

4) On his web site he currently has a post of current 'donators' on
his list and my name is on the list when the fact is "I HAVE NEVER"
gave one single dime to that organization.

5) Due to other circumstances such as allowing 'minors' and
unqualified people to investigate criminal activity on the Internet
raised red flags between myself and the other two police officers
that were monitoring their activities, so all three of us got
together, along with the lady in Indiana and opted to leave.

6) There is not at this time a single bonafide Police Officer on the
staff of the Web Police and Peter Hampton needs to be challenged on
this.

7) Unbeknownst to me, Peter Hampton has relatives in my hometown and
approx one month ago came here and I actually met him face to face
along with Barbara, who wreaked of alcohol the whole time during the
visit. By the way, the visit was only a ploy to gain what information
I could get but he gave nothing that would have been useful. He never
mentioned anything about the litigation against him from the State of
Florida.

This is pretty much all I have, but I do avoid him and his so called
members like the plague.

Kind regards,

NB: #4 Concerning donations page, which has recently been updated by InterGOV and the supposed donations from individuals are no longer there, however an archived copy can be seen at Archive.Org where you will see many supposed donations and investments that the people named appear to be unaware of. Several people we have asked about these amounts have all stated that they either gave nothing but their time or gave considerably less than is claimed on that page.
