You probably didn’t know the post office has their own cops. They could be out on patrol keeping the letter carriers safe on their appointed rounds but they aren’t. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is afraid to deploy his troops to the front lines. Just because they used to help police the streets of cities like Chicago doesn’t mean it can be done today, he insists. It’s simply too dangerous.
Cops to protect employees
Federal official Louis DeJoy has a whole army of cops at his disposal, he just won’t use them. In his capacity as postmaster general of the United States, he’s chief executive of the U.S. Postal Service. That means, according to Washington Post, that he “oversees hundreds of armed, uniformed police officers.”
They’re specifically sworn to protect “employees, infrastructure, and customers.” Another reason the post office has them is to “ensure public trust in mail.” DeJoy doesn’t seem to fully appreciate his resources.
As the Post points out, the “public might have more trust in a Postal Service plagued with escalating crime if DeJoy sent his police officers to preempt crimes by conducting street patrols to protect employees.”

Regular city cops would appreciate the backup. DeJoy has them acting as security guards in post office lobbies. They’re diligently defending “post offices and other facilities, but don’t protect employees on the streets.”
Meanwhile, the public is losing trust in the mail. One of their own reports “shows postal thefts are soaring.” Employees aren’t safe and wish there were a few cops around. “The first six months of fiscal 2023 recorded 305 thefts from letter carriers. If that rate continues, it will mean 610 thefts from letter carriers for all of 2023, a 48 percent jump over last year’s 412.”
Not only do our letter carriers have to cope with dangerous dogs and vicious children, they have to worry about some punk sticking a gun in their face. Mailboxes practically have targets painted on them. The “increase in high volume mail theft” from receptacles including blue mailboxes resulted in 25,000 thefts in the first half of 2023, a rate of 50,000 for the year or a 46 percent jump from last year’s total of 38,500.”
Enhance employee safety
Democrat Jaime Raskin hasn’t been gaining any brownie points with conservatives this week, after lying about Joe Biden’s bribery investigation being nothing much which was closed a long time ago because the witness wasn’t credible and what they had to say was third-hand Rudy Giuliani nonsense. That’s all been firmly debunked.
It was a major federal crime committed by Joe Biden while he was vice president. The investigation remains open by the special prosecutor for Hunter in Delaware. The witness was a well paid and highly credible one who still works closely with the FBI and Rudy Giuliani had nothing to do with it. This happened before then. The Owner of Burisma kept records about the $10 million bribe he paid the Bidens to make his problems go away. They did. Where’s the cops for that? Conservative Americans inquire. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while. Raskin happens to be furious with DeJoy’s progressive plan “to crack down on mail theft” and “enhance employee safety.” The Postmaster General thinks better locks will do the trick.
Raskin demands to know why “has the Postal Service continued to prevent Postal Police Officers from doing their jobs by traveling to wherever the problem is taking place?” DeJoy says the answer is installing 12,000 high-security blue mailboxes and electronic locks on 49,000 mail receptacles, not postal cops. He responded to the liberal lawmaker by weaseling. “I don’t have the authority to patrol the streets. And they haven’t done that in the past. We don’t have the legal authority to do that.”

All of that is lies. The president of the Postal Police Officers Association, Frank Albergo, shot that claim down hard. “PMG DeJoy is flat out wrong when he claimed Postal Police Officers (PPOs) have not conducted carrier protection and mail theft prevention patrols.”
For instance, the postal cops were praised in an article on the USPS website dated back in March, 2012. “Keeping carriers safe in Chicago ‘means using Postal Police Officers on street patrols.‘ The article quotes letter carriers saying: ‘The patrols make me feel a lot more comfortable while delivering mail,‘ and ‘The patrols make me feel safe,‘ and ‘It shows the Postal Service cares for my safety because they’re out here checking on us.’”
They were stopped in August 2020 when Joe Biden’s progressive policies allowed crime to skyrocket totally out of control. DeJoy has the authority. He also has the troops, who are generally pre-deployed in the places that need them the most. He’s simply afraid to get his cops killed so he keeps them safe in the lobby.
