The Vienna Security Office was founded in 1858 as a Central Bureau by imperial order . At the time Max Edelbacher took up his duties, it was known worldwide as a very efficient criminal investigation agency. In the first year of service, the group led by Edelbacher succeeded in raising the so-called “Mercedes gang”, a car theft ring organized throughout Europe. Later he was in charge of the arrest of the Austrian hard rock ladies band "Why Not" as distributors of counterfeit money. In 1980 he spent some time with the Chicago Police Department, the United States Secret Service and the FBI for study purposes. In 1986 Edelbacher took over the management of the homicide squad . During this time he worked on the cases of the " Angel of Death von Lainz " , Jack Unterwegers , and the Favoritner girl murders.

After several career steps, he was appointed head of the security office in 1988 and remained so until the end. Because of his criticism of the imminent " police reform 2002 ", which should lead to the dissolution of the security office, he was appointed to the development staff of the Federal Criminal Police Office in 2001 . Interior Minister Ernst Strasser actually dissolved the security office in October 2002 , and Councilor Edelbacher came to Favoriten as head of the South Criminal Police Office. In 2006 he retired.

His critical analysis of Operation Spring, carried out in 2005, and the discussion of the Natascha Kampusch case in his book “ Police Inside: What is wrong? ".
