Thinking about using the U.S. mail to send drugs? Think twice. Through a joint law enforcement effort, Inspectors seized over 9kg of meth & 4kg of fentanyl powder that were intended to be sold on the streets of the Denver-metro area. @FBIDenver @dcsheriff @AuroraPD @ATF_Denver

An unexpected package? 📦 With your name on it? 🤔

By law, you don’t have to pay for or return unsolicited merchandise.

It's called a brushing scam. Throw it away. Or keep it. Your choice. 🗑️ 🎁

What better gift could one receive on Presidents' Day than the gift of postal trivia! Abraham Lincoln served as the Postmaster of New Salem, IL from 1833 to 1836, during which time he often personally delivered the mail by carrying it in his hat. #PresidentsDay

Criminals: you can run but you can't hide. Last week Denver Division Postal Inspectors were in Ohio where they worked with local police to locate and arrest two individuals wanted in Colorado for their involvement in mail-related crimes. Spoiler alert: we deliver everywhere.

At the time of his arrest by Postal Inspectors in July 2024, Jones was also wanted by other local Colorado law enforcement agencies for separate offenses. The work that Postal Inspectors and our analysts do daily help keep Coloradans safe.

Denver Postal Inspector tracked down the man responsible for a holiday burglary - and uncovered a slew of his other crimes.

The Watkins, CO Post Office was burglarized over the Christmas holiday weekend in 2021. The burglar broke in through the front lobby and stole unusual items, including PO Box applications and certified mail.

After two more similar burglaries occurred at the Sedalia, CO and Dacono, CO Post Offices, Postal Inspectors connected the three burglaries when more unusual items were stolen, including a point-of-sale terminal, postal service jacket, employee personnel files, and a binder containing job applications.

Using location data, inspectors identified Zachary Jones as a suspect. During an interview, Jones admitted to illegally possessing a handgun, which he was prohibited from having as a convicted felon. Jones also confessed to stealing postal keys, which he used to steal mail on multiple occasions.

During the search of Jones’ hotel room and vehicle, Postal Inspectors found stolen mail, along with the USPS personnel files, PO Box applications, and letter carrier’s uniform stolen during the three burglaries.

Following his arrest, Jones pleaded guilty to burglary of a Post Office, possessing stolen mail, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison and ordered to pay restitution to the Postal Service.
