    Early 1900s American Law Enforcement Portrait

    $19.95

    This photograph features Inspector Max Schmittberger, likely taken between 1910 and 1915. Schmittberger served as a prominent figure in the early years of law enforcement in America. His tenure in police work coincided with significant changes in policing strategies and urban development during the Progressive Era, a time that sought to address social issues through reform. Inspectors like Schmittberger played a crucial role in shaping the evolving practices of law enforcement as cities expanded rapidly during this period.

    Max Schmittberger was noted for his work in the New York Police Department, where he was involved in various undercover operations. This photograph captures an individual dedicated to maintaining order in a changing society, as crime rates fluctuated alongside the population boom. Schmittberger’s image serves as a historical reminder of the challenges and responsibilities that lay on the shoulders of early 20th-century law enforcement officers, reflecting a time when policing was adapting to meet the needs of a growing urban populace. This moment in history encapsulates the intersection of law enforcement and societal changes, illustrating the foundational shifts that would influence modern policing.
