"Rising Letter Carrier Robberies Prompt Urgent Action from USPS and Union"

Despite the launch of Project Safe Delivery and hundreds of arrests, the number of postal carrier robberies in 2023 rose by nearly 30%, with injuries doubling. Legislation is being introduced in Congress to address the issue, including accelerating the replacement of mailbox keys and boosting prosecutions. While there has been a recent dip in robberies and an increase in arrests, postal carriers continue to be targeted, prompting calls for more action to protect them.
