It's the holidays, and for the United States Postal Service, that means an increased amount of mail and packages.
00:11
Letter Carriers will be delivering your mail six, sometimes seven days a week.
00:16
To keep up, postal employees will be working extended hours - often making deliveries into the evening.
00:22
Some of these employees will not be wearing postal uniforms - and may be driving non-postal vehicles.
00:27
The large volume of mail and packages also makes our postal employees and their vehicles tempting targets for thieves.
00:33
Postal Inspectors will be out on the streets providing security for our carriers. Local police are also working with us to keep our employees safe.
00:41
We can use your help too. Keep an eye out for your Letter Carrier. If you see something suspicious or someone following your carrier, call the police immediately.
