Protect Our Letter Carriers Act of 2024

This bill directs $1.4 billion annually (2025-2029) to the U.S. Postal Service for high-security mail collection boxes and electronic key replacements, directly affecting USPS letter carriers and employees who handle mail. It requires the Attorney General to appoint specialized prosecutors in each district to handle postal crime cases and mandates sentencing guidelines to treat assaults on postal workers as severely as assaults on law enforcement officers. The bill also expresses congressional support for vigorously prosecuting violence against postal employees. These provisions aim to enhance physical security, improve law enforcement response, and increase penalties for crimes targeting postal staff.
