NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — According to the Postal Police Officer’s Association, mail thefts and attacks on postal carriers across the country are on the rise. And while crimes are up, the same organization says, arrests and prosecutions are declining.
Frank Albergo is the President of the Postal Police Officers Association. He told News 2 there is a postal crime wave in this country and he blames the U.S. Post Office. “Mail theft has exploded. And so have attacks on letter carriers. Every day there is a letter carrier who has a gun stuck in their face, robbed, assaulted, attacked. It’s a very dangerous situation.”
