USPS Takes Over Denver Mail Hub: 729 Jobs Cut and Security Failures Exposed

Recent developments reveal the U.S. Postal Service will take control of its Denver Regional Transfer Hub in March, ending its contract with Alan Ritchey Inc. and leading to 729 layoffs.

The move is part of USPS’s plan to bring hub operations in-house, cut costs, and improve efficiency. An audit uncovered serious security issues at the facility, including mail theft, damaged packages, and broken cameras. Three contract employees were terminated over theft-related problems.

As the only privately run regional hub, Denver is a key part of USPS’s push to fully internalize operations by 2025 — aiming for tighter control and stronger security across its network.
