Suspicious Mail

Suspicious Mail

Postal employees are routinely taught to remember “Three P’s” — package, people, plan — in encountering suspicious mail and unknown powders or substances. The catchy acronym reinforces a simple but effective course of action:

▪ Don't handle the package.
▪ Clear the area of people.
▪ Follow your emergency action plan.
