U.S. Rep. Grace Meng called out the United States Postal Service (USPS) for failing to fully implement its plan to combat mail theft in Queens, according to a news release from Meng’s office. Postal officials agreed to implement recommendations suggested by the USPS Office of Inspector General by the end of April 2025, but she claimed they have yet to do so.
Meng sent a letter to David Steiner, postmaster and CEO of USPS, calling its inaction “unacceptable” and urging the remaining recommendations be implemented immediately. She emphasized that criminals are still stealing items such as residents’ checks, credit cards, bank and personal information, medication and personal items.
How can the post office take care of porch pirates? Or maintain and install security cameras? The post office has enough problems copying with all the changes made. How about people that complain about porch pirates get a po box and pick up their packages at the post office. Security cameras to maintain and install would not be cost effective. If the government wants them let them pay for and maintain them. These government officials are sometimes ridiculous with their demands on the post office. They should worry more about doing their jobs.
