In FY 2013, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service processed about 49,000 mail covers. A mail cover is an investigative tool used to record data appearing on the outside of a mailpiece. Law enforcement agencies use this information to protect national security; locate fugitives; obtain evidence; or help identify property, proceeds, or assets forfeitable under criminal law.

Postal Service and law enforcement officials must ensure compliance with privacy policies. This report determined whether the USPS and Postal Inspection Service are effectively and efficiently handling mail covers according to Postal Service and federal requirements. Redacted.
