Key Points

This bill updates federal law to clearly define the powers of U.S. Postal Service police officers. It ensures these officers have the legal authority to protect mail, postal buildings, and the people who work in or visit them.
The change is intended to help address the rise in mail theft and crimes against mail carriers. By clarifying their role, the bill aims to make it easier for postal police to patrol and take action on and around postal property.
The bill also allows the Postmaster General to create new safety and security rules for post offices and other postal buildings. People who break these rules could face fines or up to 30 days in jail.
