Mail Integrity and Inspector General Act

More investigators for USPS mail

This bill would require the USPS Office of Inspector General’s Office of Investigations to keep enough staff each fiscal year starting in fiscal year 2027 to meet current and projected investigative workloads, including adding special agents in classification series 1811 if needed. The Inspector General would be allowed to use hiring and retention authorities under 5 U.S.C. 5753 and 5754 to improve recruitment and retention. The Office of Investigations would be able to enter cooperative agreements with state and local governments to help their law enforcement agencies on related investigations. The Inspector General would do a workforce assessment within one year after enactment and then every year, and would send the assessment report to Congress.
