Expanding Postal Police Authority Beyond Postal Property.

This act expands the authority of U.S. Postal Service police officers, allowing them to protect mail, employees, and property outside of Postal Service-owned or occupied premises. This means postal police can now intervene in security matters related to mail and personnel in a broader scope, potentially enhancing the safety of deliveries and postal workers.
Key points
Postal police officers can now protect mail, employees, and Postal Service property anywhere, not just on Postal Service-owned land.
The change aims to enhance the security of postal operations and personnel beyond traditional facilities.
