# '''Joint Task Force Investigations:''' USPIS participates in joint task force investigations where laws applicable to the mail service are involved. These cases are often wide-ranging and involve every law enforcement agency of the federal government. For example, USPIS participated in the largest count indictment and conviction in [[NASA]] history, the Omniplan case, that put seven companies out of business and ended with the conviction of Omniplan owner, Ralph Montijo, on 179 federal crimes.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D02E1DA1139F934A25752C0A960958260 |title=Businessman Is Sentenced For Bilking Space Agency |newspaper= | # '''Joint Task Force Investigations:''' USPIS participates in joint task force investigations where laws applicable to the mail service are involved.

The Postal Inspection Service's Technical Services Unit (TSU) provides investigative support through the use of new technology and the operations of two national communication centers known as the National Law Enforcement Control Centers (NLECC). In 2003, [[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement]] renamed their national communication center, previously known as "Sector" to the "National Law Enforcement Communications Center" (also known as NLECC). USPIS NLECC and ICE NLECC are two independent federal law enforcement radio communications centers that coincidentally share the same acronym and an almost identical name. | The Postal Inspection Service's Technical Services Unit (TSU) provides investigative support through the use of new technology and the operations of two national communication centers known as the National Law Enforcement Control Centers (NLECC).
