Benefits to being an Inspector: Competitive pay and benefits (comparable to any other federal law enforcement agency). Diverse, challenging, and exciting work environment. Plenty of opportunity for advancement. Investigative autonomy—follow cases across the country to completion. Opportunity to protect our society’s most vulnerable (children and older Americans). Chance to serve your country by safeguarding one of America’s most essential and time-honored institutions—the U.S. Mail. Opportunity to fight against the opioid epidemic. Pride in belonging to one of the oldest, most elite federal law enforcement agencies. “The greatest moments of my career are the times I help restore the lives of victims ravaged by identity theft. The long hours spent investigating are worthwhile when I tell the victims, ‘We arrested the guy.’” —Postal Inspector, San Francisco Division
