It is with great respect, we announce the addition of Post Office Inspector Almon P. Frederick to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington DC.

Inspector Frederick was killed in the line of duty after returning from an inspection of the Bland, CO Post Office in 1910. He suffered fatal injuries after being thrown from a horse-drawn carriage, when the bolts of the carriage broke and the horses ran wild.

Inspector Frederick died from his injuries on April 18, 1910. Although he passed over a century ago, his service will not be forgotten.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one man stole over $1.7 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to live a lavish lifestyle, until Postal Inspectors put him behind bars.

Beginning in April 2020, Niall Alli, of Long Island, NY, applied for PPP loans for two small businesses that he owned. In total, Alli received over $1.7 million in PPP loans. To support his applications, Alli fabricated payroll and financial records.

After receiving the funds, Alli used the money for personal expenses, including the purchase of a Cadillac Escalade, two Patek Philippe wristwatches, private school tuition for his child, nearly $500,000 worth of cryptocurrency, and luxury hotel stays.

After spending the money, Alli filed loan forgiveness applications and used fake financial statements to support his claim. New York Division Postal Inspectors were tasked with following the money to uncover his fraud scheme. Inspectors found he used the loans to enrich himself by paying personal debts and making extravagant purchases.

Postal Inspectors arrested Alli in September 2022, and he pleaded guilty to disaster relief fraud and wire fraud. He was sentenced to 48 months in prison and ordered to pay over $1.7 million in restitution, along with an additional $135,000 in asset forfeitures.
