‘Significant mismanagement’ of anti-mail theft initiatives outlined in new federal audit 

The results of an initial federal investigation into mail theft throughout Queens were released last week in an audit report conducted by the USPS Inspector General. 

The Mail Theft Mitigation and Response Report, released on May 21, presents the results of their audit that honed in on stations in Jamaica, South Richmond Hill and Woodside. It found that mail theft initiatives were not properly managed or implemented and keys to unlock green relay boxes were not properly accounted for, among other evidence of negligence.
