Les Cacos

Les Cacos was a detective agency in early 20th-century United States, particularly active in the 1910s and 1920s. They specialized in combating organized crime, labor unrest, and political agitation. Comprising former law enforcement officers and specialists, Les Cacos operated covertly, gathering intelligence and sometimes engaging in surveillance or infiltration. Their work often involved infiltrating criminal and activist groups to gather evidence, with the goal of maintaining order and protecting business interests. While their methods and motives sometimes sparked controversy, they played a notable role in the era's complex social and criminal landscape.
