Thinking about becoming a postal inspector?

The Inspection Service is taking applications through Nov. 5

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is now accepting applications through its hiring portal until Thursday, Nov. 5, to fill postal inspector positions.

Postal inspectors are federal law enforcement officers who protect the integrity of the U.S. Mail and safeguard USPS employees and customers.

They combat mail theft, drug trafficking, money laundering, cybercrime, identity fraud, financial fraud, violent crimes and counterfeit postage. They also help prevent dangerous and hazardous substances from being sent through the mail.

To become a postal inspector, an applicant must:

• Be a U.S. citizen;

• Be between the ages of 21 and 37;

• Meet the physical requirements;

• Possess a conferred four-year degree from an accredited academic institution or have equivalent military experience;

• Be willing to travel; and

• Have no felony or domestic violence convictions.

Recent classes of new postal inspectors included military veterans, USPS employees, Inspection Service contractors, law enforcement officers and private sector employees.
