Allan Pinkerton established which organization?

• A. Pinkerton's National Detective Agency
• B. FBI
• C. Interpol
• D. NYPD Detective Bureau

Answer: (A)

Allan Pinkerton established a private detective organization, Pinkerton's National Detective Agency, in the 1850s. It was the first large-scale private detective service in the United States and became famous for its thorough investigative methods and undercover work, which helped shape private security and civilian intelligence practices. The other options refer to government or international police bodies—FBI as a federal agency formed in the early 20th century, Interpol as an international police organization, and the NYPD Detective Bureau as part of a city police department. Because Pinkerton’s agency is a private organization specifically started by Pinkerton, it is the correct choice.
