The Postal Police Reform Act of 2025 aims to significantly modify the role and duties of United States Postal Service police officers by amending title 18 of the United States Code. This legislation explicitly adds Postal Service police officers to the list of personnel who can exercise the powers of a postal inspector, thereby expanding their operational authority. Furthermore, the bill grants the Postmaster General the power to prescribe regulations for the protection and administration of property owned or occupied by the Postal Service and for the safety of individuals on such property. These regulations may include reasonable penalties for violations. Individuals found in violation of these prescribed regulations could face a fine, imprisonment for up to 30 days, or both, ensuring a clear enforcement mechanism for property security and public safety.
