I am a retired Postal Police Sargent, Some of the comments I read is misinformation. Postal Police were made peace officer by congress. They do have to power to arrest. I should know, as I was a supervisor. On TV worlds dumbest, It shows a Postal police officer arresting a mailman.

Do you mean Sergeant?
First of all, what a piss poor introduction.
Second, what post are you referring to where someone stated USPP doesn't have the power to arrest?
Third, BIG isn't sure us federal types are designated as "peace officers" by congress.
Fourth, now that you've declared yourself as former law enforcement, you either have to shyt or get off of the pot. Being that you must now provide proof of such or be banned from the site.
Have a nice day.

I didn't even know the Postal Service had "police." I thought they were called "Postal Inspectors." We had to work with them once, and they were a more squared-away organization than I had expected.

Postal Police are not the same as Postal Inspection Service, two completely different agencies simply under the same USPS umbrella. The former are uniformed federal LEOS (job series 0083, similar to FBI Police who provide security at Quantico and FBI HQ) who primarily provide physical security/force protection to postal sites, where the latter are federal agents (job series 1811, same as agents with FBI, DEA, ATF, etc.) who work federal criminal investigations.
I have to concur with Big Sexy, that's a pretty odd (and rude quite frankly) way to introduce oneself. If you're an actual LEO then put your money where your mouth is (i.e. see the info in my signature block below about LEO verification) and we may put more stock in what you claim.

I believe "Peace Officer" status is extended by each individual state, not Congress. What would I know, though.
...I would know how to properly spell my title, though. :)

Careful, Chewy! I'd never commit to a name for his agency. You know, now that you typed it, it has probably already changed. They just can't seem to decide on a name, you know. :)

Good to see you're still up to your antics.

Good to see you too Cincy! Haven't seen you post in awhile - you on a super extended layover with a couple of hooters girls or something? :cheers:
lol I can't remember who sent me a link to that way back when - I think it may have been my brother...
honestly, it's not my bag baby! ha ha
Where do you find this stuff?
If you like that (and we both know you do, Cincy) you should check out the version of that song by Cartman (from South Park).

There are Postal Police here in Atlanta and they have all the authority that other cops do.
Also, I can spell Sergeant.
