Mail users would see more secure collection boxes and postal workers would get stronger protections against violence.
This bill would set aside $1.4 billion each year for five years to upgrade mailboxes and replace old postal keys with electronic ones. It would also require dedicated prosecutors for crimes against postal workers and make sentences for assaulting them similar to assaulting a police officer. These changes aim to make mail delivery safer for everyone.
Today, the United States Postal Service handles security, and crimes against postal workers are prosecuted under general laws. This bill would change that by setting aside $1.4 billion each year for five years to upgrade mailboxes and keys. It would also create dedicated prosecutors for postal crimes and make sentences for assaulting postal workers similar to those for assaulting police officers.
