National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement

The National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement was a group created in the early 1930s by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to address problems related to law enforcement, particularly during Prohibition. Its goal was to improve the effectiveness of laws and the agencies responsible for enforcing them, reducing corruption and organized crime. The commission recommended reforms and structural changes to strengthen legal compliance and law enforcement practices across the country. Essentially, it was an effort to ensure the rule of law was upheld fairly and efficiently during a challenging period for the justice system.
