Postmaster Louis DeJoy should be fired for taking Postal Police off of street patrol same month/year (Aug 2020 right after he started) USPS OIG released a public report there is "No Master Key Control Plan in Place." HOW does that make sense? How does it make sense that DeJoy's excuse "We only have 600 postal police" as excuses for postal crime in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024....? I discovered these two items on the same timeline to be a clear indication that Postmaster Louis DeJoy wants to get rid of paper. Turn everything into digital (like voting!). It all makes sense. Then the US will run like Estonia, paperless! Unfortunately our workforce is paying the price for his plan - with their lives. I used to issued Guard Cards and train guards in the private sector to Detect, DETER, and Report. Even our UNarmed Guards were a deterrent; something DeJoy doesn't seem to care about. RIP Octavia Redmond. And be careful, coworkers! USPS Board of Governors should fire PMG DeJoy for Creating A Hostile Work Environment. https://lnkd.in/gxQG3mCX

More proof that the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is more concerned with their precious image than actually serving the American, stamp-buying public that pays their highly lucrative salaries and benefits. What other federal law enforcement agency could possibly be dumb enough to claim to be involved in surge operations to combat mail theft--only then to announce to criminals that they've ended said surge operations and moved on to God-knows what else? Answer: The same agency that announced to the American public that their own uniformed postal police are powerless to arrest mail thieves. The people running USPIS are, quite simply, morons. PS. They may claim 14 arrests, but they did not effect 14 arrests. PSS. 14 arrests is not at all impressive--it's fishing in a stocked barrel. PSSS. How long until the USPIS media machine churns out one of their legendary, highly-contrived, high-cost videos depicting postal inspectors rappelling from helicopters to arrest mail thieves in the act?

Friday, July 19, 2024, on Chicago’s Far South Side, letter carrier Octavia Redmond, 48, was fatally shot by an unknown assailant while delivering mail. And, as is the norm, when the U.S. Postal Inspection Service received notification of the incident from Chicago Police, their first action was to post on Twitter that postal inspectors “were responding” (the actual reason for the Twitter post was for media exposure). And, as the picture indicates, they arrived en-masse to “monitor the scene” while Chicago Police performed the yeoman’s work on the incident. As USPIS has clearly indicated, their primary/priority function is the investigation of crime, post occurrence, rather than preventative postal police patrols which would serve to deter that crime from ever taking place (patrols that were once regular in Chicago and elsewhere). Proactive policing works. Who doesn’t grasp this fact? The U.S. Postal Inspection Service. S.3356 and H.R. 3005 (The Postal Police Reform Act) are bills in the United States Senate and U.S. House of Representatives seeking to restore postal police authority to protect National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) employees as they deliver mail in known dangerous locations. That authority was terminated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in 2020, at the same time criminal attacks on carriers began to escalate at unprecedented levels. TEN Illinois representatives, including Nikki Budzinski; Representative Mike Quigley; Brad Schneider; Office of Rep. Lauren Underwood; Robin Kelly; Jonathan Jackson; Raja Krishnamoorthi; Danny Davis; Mike Bost and Eric Sorensen support H.R. 3005, and Senators Richard Durbin and Senator Tammy Duckworth support S.3356 as sponsors and cosponsors. Who doesn’t support H.R. 3005 and S.3356? The U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Baffling. #firegarybarksdale National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) Frank Albergo Mack I.
