Fun fact: Pinkerton is still around and is "the world's leading provider of corporate risk management solutions" [0]. Companies regularly hire Pinkerton muscle to handle "security threats" related to union organizing.

Interestingly, even Google retains Pinkerton to investigate internal leaks [1].

You’d think Pinkerton would have rebranded.

Perhaps it's still an effective brand in their target market?
