00:06 What I think cop shows get wrong about Postal Inspectors is they don't use them enough.
00:10 We are the elite of Federal law enforcement.
00:12 We're a highly trusted government agency.
00:15 We're the investigative and security function of the postal service.
00:19 We're a mini police agency all of our own.
00:22 We represent the United States government.
00:23 That's a responsibility and a charge that we take extremely seriously.
00:28 It's such a broad jurisdiction. We have every type of investigation that a police department might have. Narcotics, homicide cases, child exploitation cases, prohibited mailing, robbery cases, burglaries, bomb cases, bioterrorism, identity theft.
00:44 There are over two hundred federal statutes that apply to the mail.
00:46 When you start telling them bombs in the mail, anthrax in the mail, and then the light bulb goes on and they get it.
00:52 I worked countless child exploitation cases.
00:56 When you go to court, to look to the live child that you resqued from this predator and to tell them that he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail is the most rewarding thing that you can get out of this assignment.

01:54 You run your own case. You get to make all the decisions, tactical, evaluative.
01:59 Whatever the facts are, the facts are.
02:00 There are steps that you take and that's exactly how you work an investigation.
02:04 We present good information. We have good cases.
02:08 It's not uncommon for the US Attorney's office to call and say hey we'd really like you to work this case.
02:12 We earn that respect over a number of years.
02:14 Our work ethic is second to none.

03:16 So if I have a case that crosses state lines, wherever they are, we'll go get them. We're good.
