Barbara O’Donnell, front center, local union members and members of the National Association of Letter Carriers rally to protest assaults and robberies of letter carriers in recent years in front of the Aurora Main Post Office on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023. U.S. Postal Service letter carriers from across Metro Denver rallied at the Aurora Main Post Office on Tuesday to raise awareness for increasing assaults and robberies and to call for more federal prosecution of the crimes.
“We need the Postal Service and Postal Inspection Service to work with federal prosecutors,” Byrne said. “Maybe we need some legislation with some teeth in it to hold these suspects accountable.” While it’s not unusual for customers to stop by his truck to drop off mail, Deuel said, he found his truck door was open and a young man or teenager was stealing packages and throwing them into the car, which held two other men.
In a statement, USPS spokesperson James Boxrud said there has been an increase in crimes against USPS employees amid an overall increase in crime across the country. Brian Renfroe, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, said the union supports a legislative solution that would increase funding for more postal inspectors and mail security. He’s also in support of examining sentencing guidelines for mail-related crimes.
