Midland Park NJ, from the Midland Park Police Department :
Midland Park residents………
From the United States Postal Service….The U.S. Postal Inspection Service would like to notify local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel that due to the increased amount of holiday deliveries USPS employees will be working extended holiday hours including delivering mail through the evening hours and they may be utilizing non-USPS vehicles.
With the increase in holiday related package shipments USPS employees, vehicles, and packages left at residences can become a tempting target for criminal activities. Below are security tips provided by
USPS for mail and package theft prevention which can be used for holiday package theft prevention/awareness campaigns.
-Don’t leave delivered mail and packages unattended.
-If you are going out of town put your mail on “hold” at your local post office.
-Ship using “hold for pick up” customers can provide delivery instructions online and authorize the carrier to leave it in a specified location.
-If you are comfortable with this option you can have packages delivered to your place of employment rather than your residence and avoid packages at your residence left unattended while at work.
-Secure the shipment using USPS Special Services, such as signature confirmation or registered mail.
If you suspect you are a victim of mail theft please contact MPPD @ 201-444-2300.
