The ACME Detective Agency or ACME Crimenet (changed to ACME Timenet in Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?) is the organization that the user or protagonists always work for. The exact nature of the organization is never explained, but it appears to be concerned mainly with tracking down and capturing international criminals. Principally, ACME trains and employs agents who act as detectives, spies, and double agents against V.I.L.E.

Works for me, no punishment necessary.
