Petrosino, with 27 committed men working under him, could foil the Black Handers at practically every turn. From 1905 to 1909, Petrosino and his squad captured a few thousand Italian culprits. More than 500 Italians hoodlums were sent to jail, and thousands more were extradited back to Italy. To show how compelling Petrosino and his men were, in 1908 alone, there were 44 bombings, and 70 men captured for those bombings. What's more, there were 424 Black Hand blackmail grievances, and 214 captures were made as a consequence of those complaints.To add damage to affront, Petrosino, after he heard that Saietta had been by and by included in a few dark hand murder's, stood up to Saietta in Saietta's Little Italy market. The New York Times reported, "Petrosino strolled up to Lupo and said something in a low voice. At that point the analyst's clench hand shot out and Lupo tumbled to the floor.

Petrosino was designated the leader of the Secret Service, and was given 14 men, with the mandate to "Pound the Black Hand and drive agitators out of the city."
