En 1811, Vidocq creó la conocida Brigade de la Sûrete (Brigada de Seguridad), un grupo de agentes secretos cuya misión era infiltrarse entre los distintos grupos criminales y recabar información.
In Victor Hugo's Les Misérables (1862), both main characters, the reformed criminal Jean Valjean and Police Inspector Javert, were modeled after Vidocq, as was the policeman Monsieur Jackal in The Mohicans of Paris (1854–1855) by Alexandre Dumas. He also was the basis for Rodolphe de Gerolstein, who secured justice in the serial newspaper novel The Mysteries of Paris of Eugène Sue in the weekly newspaper Journal des débats; and he was the inspiration of Émile Gaboriau for Monsieur Lecoq, one of the first scientific and methodical investigators who played the lead role in many adventures, who in turn was a major influence for the creation of Sherlock Holmes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Fran%C3%A7ois_Vidocq

Y sin Vidoq nunca hubieramos tenido al más famosos de sus miembors, el Inspector Clouseau (de la Sûrete)
