Prohibition agents

Prohibition agents were law enforcement officers tasked with enforcing the U.S. Prohibition laws from 1920 to 1933, which banned the production, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. Their role involved investigating illegal alcohol activities, raiding speakeasies, and apprehending those violating the law. They operated under agencies like the Bureau of Prohibition, working to reduce alcohol consumption and associated social issues. These agents often faced dangers from organized crime, which supplied illegal alcohol, making their work challenging and sometimes risky. Their efforts aimed to uphold Prohibition laws, though with mixed success.
