PMG Names New Chief Postal Inspector
TweetPMG Jack Potter has named Guy Cottrell the 38th chief inspector of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. He begins his new assignment Aug. 1.
A 23-year postal employee, Cottrell has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of New Orleans. He most recently served as deputy chief inspector, where he was responsible for USPS national security programs.
In 1987, Cottrell began his postal career as a letter carrier in New Orleans. In 1990, he became a Postal Inspector in the New Orleans Division, where he investigated internal and external mail theft in Louisiana and southern Mississippi. He has held a number of supervisory positions in various major metropolitan areas, including management of the Inspection Service’s Washington field office during much of the 2001 anthrax investigations.
In 2008, Cottrell was named inspector in charge of the Security and Crime Prevention/Communications group. In that position, he guided the Inspection Service toward a risk and management analysis platform and streamlined security-related programs. His group produced several internal and external security and crime prevention publications and videos and also created a new Postal Inspection Service website.
Cottrell also will serve as chairman of the Universal Postal Union’s Postal Security Group.

Not impressed with Postal Inspectors at all. Last month had a Union Stewart and friends come by removel a neighbor’s mailbox. Place it on top of my van and knock windows out. The vehicle matches his, item left on seen would help convict or clear person. USPS holds key, but not willing to help, no wounder the violence keeps going. It’s been three weeks and no call back.

Would like to file a formal complaint against the Postal inspection service & so called threat assessment team out of the houston tx. district. Zero tolerance obviously is a joke! I am a postal employee who had a threat made on my life, person recieved a 14 day suspension and unlike what I was told returned back to the office where I am suppose to be guaranteed a safe work place, needless to say I am not working for fear of my life.
