Think you’ve got what it takes to be a postal crime fighter? The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is opening its hiring portal for a brief window, as Link reported last week.
Speaking of fighting crime, we also told you about a recent workers’ comp fraud case solved with help of the USPS Office of Inspector General, and the importance of remaining vigilant against cyber vishing.
We told you about recommended price changes; the Combined Federal Campaign’s final tally of nearly $2 million; the release of the new Figures of the American Revolution stamps at a special interactive exhibit at the National Postal Museum; and the Lowriders stamps display at USPS headquarters.
We shared news of the April 30 retirement of Sharon Owens, pricing and costing vice president, and the “People” column highlighted the remarkable life of Evelyn Craig, part of the first group of women to be hired as letter carriers after the Civil Service Commission ended sex discrimination in 1963.
Finally, in “Heroes,” Luz Vasquez saw smoke coming from an apartment building while on her route. The Chicago letter carrier alerted residents and carried two small children to safety.
Before she could reenter, she heard an explosion that shattered windows and shot flames from the building. The ensuing fire killed a 19-year-old woman and injured a 45-year-old man.
