ST. LOUIS – The U.S. Postal Service is under fire for allegedly sidelining its own police force amid a national mail theft crisis.
FOX 2’s recent investigation into a growing check-washing scam spurred a tip from the national president of the Postal Police Officer’s Association.
“The postal service has a police force it won’t use. It’s amazing,” Frank Albergo told FOX 2.
Albergo is also a postal police officer, but he spoke to FOX 2 in his capacity as association president.
”We are confined to postal property right now—during a mail theft epidemic—and make no mistake, there is a postal crime wave happening,” Albergo said.
He saw our Fox Files report on the mail scam that’s costing residents millions. We demonstrated how easy it is for criminals to wash a check and write it out to whatever they want.
