Old West 1900'S Pinkerton Detective Agency
Reproduction Police Badge

The Pinkerton National Detective Agency, or Pinkertons, was a private detective and security guard agency founded by Allan Pinkerton in 1850. Pinkerton rose to fame by foiling an assassination plot against president-elect Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln, in turn, hired Pinkerton agents for his personal security during the Civil War. The legendary Pinkerton National Detective Agency, at one point, had more agents than the US army, which caused Ohio to outlaw the Pinkertons because Ohio feared the agency could be hired out as a private militia.

During the labor unrest of the mid 1800s, business hired Pinkerton Detectives to spy on unions and as guards to keep strikers and union supporters out of factories. In 1871 the Department of Justice contracted the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to act as an investigations unit on the Justice Department's behalf, but in 1893 the Anti-Pinkerton act was passed into law, stating that Pinkerton employees may not be employed by the US Government. Today Pinkerton operates as Pinkerton Consulting and Investigators, a private security company.
