The Postal Inspection Service is now accepting applications through its hiring portal until Wednesday, Sept. 17, to fill postal inspector positions.
Postal inspectors play a critical role in protecting the integrity of the U.S. Mail, safeguarding postal employees and customers, and fighting crimes that threaten the American public. They enforce more than 200 federal laws covering the postal system.
To become a postal inspector, an applicant must:
• Be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;
• Meet the physical requirements;
• Possess a four-year degree from an accredited academic institution;
• Be willing to travel;
• Be between the ages of 21 and 37; and
• Have no felony or domestic violence convictions.
The latest class to complete basic inspector training graduated Sept. 5. Of the 21 graduates, six are former military service members and 19 have prior law enforcement experience.
The Inspection Service’s website has more information.
