Francois Vidocq, a criminal-turned-detective in 19th century Paris, is recognized for his significant contributions to modern crime solving. Despite his criminal background, Vidocq became an informant for the police and later joined the force, establishing the Brigade de Sûreté, a plainclothes unit focused on undercover work. He introduced various innovations, including a comprehensive system of records on known criminals, the use of informants, and the application of disguises and forensic techniques in investigations. Vidocq's work had a profound impact on the field of criminology and continues to inspire authors, filmmakers, and organizations like the Vidocq Society, which solves cold cases.
