If questioned by a U.S. Postal Inspector about your conduct, even if you believe you are not guilty of any wrong-doing, it is suggested you do the following:

1. Remain calm.

2. Correctly identify yourself, if requested to do so.

3. Do not physically resist an arrest or a search of your person or property.

4. Read aloud to the Postal Inspector(s) the statement below.

5. Remain silent until you have consulted with your union representative or attorney, as appropriate.

This is not complete advice. Always consult with a lawyer.

I request the presence of my union representative. If I am a suspect in a criminal matter, please so advise me. If so, I wish to contact my attorney. (His/Her) name is ______________________Telephone number ____________________.

If I am under arrest, I request you to so advise me and to inform me of the reason or reasons. I will not resist an arrest. I do not consent to a search of my person or property. However, I will not physically resist or obstruct such a search. If you have a search warrant, I request to see it at this time.  I will cooperate with you fully, but I do not waive any of my rights, including my right to remain silent. I will not sign a waiver-of-rights form, nor admit or deny any allegations, nor make any written or oral statement unless my attorney and/or union representative are personally present and so advise me.
