Hello, I live just North of San Francisco. I have an obsession with Postal Police =). I was hoping that a PPO could tell me about their job and what they do on an average day on the job. What kinds of things do you do? Do you have a dispatcher and a police station? Do you use radio communication? Do you get calls for service from costumers and postal employees? What is your most common call? Do you employ CSOs? Any and all information that you’re willing to share would be great because there’s not a lot of information out there. Thanks so much!

WELL, LOOKS LIKE THE EB WENT DOWN IN FLAMES.

good luck J West05 So FL

Postal Police hires from within, Pass the requried test and your put on a list. No 4 year degree for uniform officers some college required but OJT experince counts.

Does the Insepction Service have two seperate divisions? IE the uniformed police officers and the inspectors. I've heard the uniformed officers are not required to have a four year degree. Is this true? I am a former police officer with five and a half years experience and now a letter carrier in South Florida. Looking to maybe get into postal police. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for pointing those out - I have deleted same...any more?

I haven't ever heard of such a regulation. If there was one, it would be in the DMM, the POM, or the ASM.

Can someone please advise what regulation requires large apartment complexes to have an outgoing box/receptacle for outgoing mail? Thanks.

To all (including the Topic Administrator): May you and you families enjoy the greatest 4th of July ever - don't eat too much bar-b-que, and please be careful with all those fireworks!!!

Things have been just too quiet on here lately? There are several topics going on within the Postal Police doings. Why are we being silent? Why is the information not being shared abroad? Have they finally won? Have they divided us so much so, that we don't even debate or argue the matters and means to no ends? Are we stuck in the locker rooms, whispering to ourselves?

Folks our new Sgt. "Wantabe204b" nice user name. What a Butt Munch....

Im from the San Francisco Bay area are they hiring for PPO?

Better pay !!!

March 5th - Opening of contract talks - and no one has anything to say?

Good luck to the EB. Use everything you can to get as much for us as possible.

All you naysayers out there - the time has come - won't be long until we know what we get - in the meantime support your union and the work they're doing.
