The Postal Security Group: Working to make the postal world safer

04.03.2019 - The Universal Postal Union’s Security Programme Manager, Dawn Wilkes, acts as the Secretary to the Postal Security Group (PSG). The PSG’s formation is a recognition that the safety and security of the postal sector, as part of the global supply chain, is critical to supporting worldwide commerce and communication.

Guided by the vision “Postal Security Makes Business Sense”, the PSG is comprised of security experts and is charged with the development of global and regional security strategies to assist the world’s Posts in their security missions. Through training initiatives, consultation missions and prevention programmes, the PSG strives to protect the employees, customers and assets of Posts, and to safeguard mail from fraud, theft and misuse.

PSG priorities include the prevention of injuries to people due to the carriage of dangerous goods in the mail, including deadly wildlife; prevention of loss or theft of mail; prevention of revenue or asset losses by Posts; and the retention of customer confidence in the Posts.
