Legislative Progress
Key Points
- USPS would be required to install security cameras at every USPS facility, as long as Congress provides the money.
- The goal is to improve safety for postal workers and customers and to better protect mail, packages, and postal property.
- Funding would come from the general U.S. Treasury, with “as much as needed” authorized to support the camera rollout.
- For everyday users, this could mean more visible security at post offices, and more video evidence when theft or vandalism happens.
