The U.S. Postal Inspection Service supports and protects the U.S. Postal Service and its customers by enforcing the laws that defend the nation’s mail system from illegal or dangerous use.
www.usa.govHere are the latest publicly reported updates on the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS):
-
USPIS and USPS publicized ongoing efforts under Project Safe Delivery, including targeted law enforcement surges, anti-phishing and anti-fraud outreach, and deployment of enhanced mail-security measures. These initiatives aim to reduce mail theft and protect postal workers, with reports highlighting measurable improvements such as reduced robberies and increased arrests in recent campaigns.[1][3]
-
In early 2025, USPS and USPIS described successful campaigns against postal crime, noting a 27% drop in letter carrier robberies and thousands of actions/arrests as part of joint operations. The campaigns also emphasized public awareness around fraud prevention and collaboration with local authorities.[1]
-
Public-facing materials and coverage from USPIS and USPS in 2025-2026 continued to stress Project Safe Delivery as a central framework for preventing mail theft, safeguarding customers, and maintaining trust in mail services. Official USPIS and USPS channels regularly publish updates on these efforts.[5][6]
-
For ongoing, authoritative updates direct from USPIS, you can check USPIS News and USPIS homepage periodically, as they routinely post new press releases and investigative updates.[6][5]
Illustrative example of a program: Project Safe Delivery combines physical security upgrades (e.g., secure collection boxes, locks), enforcement surges in high-crime areas, and public awareness campaigns to deter theft and fraud. It’s described as a joint USPS-USPIS initiative with partnerships across federal, state, and local law enforcement.[3]
