The DHS of Science and Technology was created in 2003 by Congress. Currently, the director of DHS of Science and Technology is Dr. Reginald Brothers. This department section was created to keep track of threats that can potentially cause detriment to the United States. This department section was also created to use Science and Technology to protect American from outside threats. DHS of Science and Technology accomplishes this task by providing the Department of Homeland Security with cutting edge technologies that can be used to prevent or diffuse threats poised at the United States. Furthermore, within this department there are many different sectors that hold a key position within DHS of Science and Technology such as; “First Responders, …show more content…

This program allows for these funds to be dispersed which will enhance the instrumentation at various universities to allow for better research that can help the Department of Defense. The budget goes on to mention that this program will spend this money on various equipment that ranges from $50 thousand dollars to 1$ million dollars. This research program will provide 12$ million dollars for the Army, 23$ million dollars for the Navy, and 16$ million dollars for the Air Force. This site also provided supplementary data that discussed the various programs agencies and what they do in more detail (The Networking and Information Technology Research Development Program 2015). Another interesting project that is currently being funded to the DHS Science and Technology is the National Nanotechnology Initiative. This project plans to work with various sciences that involve working with nanotechnologies. The overall goal of this funding package is to develop various nanotechnologies that would be useful in fields such as the medical field as well as the military. There is also an initiative in this funding plan to supply a curriculum to K-12 students so they get a basic foundation in these sciences. (The National Nanotechnology

I will be sentencing Andrew Medina as a youth. The Charges I will be giving Andrew Medina is Intensive Rehabilitation Custody and Supervision for 3 years, Intensive Support and Supervision Program for 3 years, Probation for 1 year and 100 hours of community service within one year. I believe after he finishes these charges he will be reintegrate and rehabilitated. During Andrews time at Intensive Rehabilitation Custody and Supervision he will be taking regular classes as if he is a normal child to help him rehabilitate. After he is done his time in Custody he will go on to do Intensive Support and Supervision Program for 3 years to help him. He will talk to his Supervisor every other day for a month and then get less and less time with him

Evaluate development and meet performance goals by using A.P.I.E: A.P.I.E: Assessment, Plan, Intervention, and Evaluation, (Schwarz, 2017) in coordination with the developmental assessments provided by program workers.
Take a second to contemplate just how much $200 billion actually is. What could we do with this if it we could channel it to be used for a greater cause? Think about eradicating poverty in our country or providing all low-income high-school graduates the opportunity to go to college. For $200 billion, we could literally stuff our low-income schools with the technology they need to keep up with the speedy technical evolution we are wrapped up in. Instead, there is $200 billion going down the drain on nothing more than administrative waste.
In 2002, DHS, “with the passage of the Homeland Security Act by Congress in November, DHS formally came into being as a stand-alone, Cabinet-level department to further coordinate and unify national homeland security efforts” (DHS, n.d.). Not since President Harry Truman consolidated the armed forces into the Department of Defense had the government undergone such a large reorganization. Twenty-two agencies came together to form DHS with tasks that include border patrol, disaster recovery and transportation safety just to name a few.
The Department of Homeland Security was created just 11 short days after the events of 9/11. The Department of Homeland Securities was created to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure and resilient against terrorism and other hazards. The foundation has three key concepts according to the website, those include; security, resilience and customs and exchange. The Homeland Security website also states that there are five core missions preventing terrorism, secure and mange our borders, e...
The DHS has demonstrated great leadership but lacked the necessity to create effective affiliations in communicating and utilizing information, which like seen in 9/11 dramatically affected the outcome and security of the country. “The Department of Homeland Security, has poorly positioned themselves to receive intelligence from the intelligence community agencies because it does not do intelligence collection on its own and hence will have nothing to trade” (DHS, 2016). Since then, DOJ. FBI, DNI, CIA, and other federal agencies like the DHS have increased their channels of intelligence and their means of communication with one another. This has led to an increase of arrests made towards Americans on terrorism related

Homeland defense is primarily a Department of Defense (DOD) activity and is defined as “... the protection of US sovereignty, territory, domestic population, and critical defense infrastructure against external threats and aggression, or other threats as directed by the President.” Homeland security, regardless of the definition or strategic document, is a combination of law enforcement, disaster, immigration, and terrorism issues. It is primarily the responsibility of civilian agencies at all levels. It is a coordination of efforts at all levels of government. The differences between homeland security and homeland defense, however, are not completely distinct. A international terrorist organization attack on and within the United States would result in a combined homeland security and homeland defense response, such as on 9/11 when civilian agencies were responding to the attacks while the U.S. military established a combat air patrol over New York and Washington, DC. This distinction between homeland security and homeland defense, and the evolution of homeland security as a concept, was reflected in the strategic documents developed and issued following 9/11 (Reese
The first area is the Department of Homeland Security’s mission. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was created in 2002 by the Homeland Security Act. In 2003 the DHS started their operations. The DHS primary responsibilities and objectives includes prevention, protection, and response to issues that threaten national security. There are five core missions that define the DHS: Managing and securing our nation’s borders, strengthening security initiatives to help prevent terrorism, administering and enforcing the nation’s immigration laws, ensuring that the nation can rebound fast and or prevent disasters, and ensuring the internet is secure by instituting safeguards that protect the nation against cyber-attacks. (TWH, 2003)
Col. Randy Larson, renown author and Director of the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Center, speaks on an in-depth prospective of the field of homeland security and factors that drive the continued efforts to address future threats to the nation for the 21 century. The area of focus presented in the interview are the various ways an individual may enter the field but are not limited to a particular area of study. For example, health care, agriculture, or political science, there is essential no set track for finding a career in homeland security. Challenges surrounding area of homeland security are the mounting financial burdens and the need for the appointment of leadership at a national executive level to address this realistic future threat. Despite these concerns, evidence suggests quality system practices can assist in guiding theses area and the adoption of tools that support quality improvement when addressing homeland security and future concerns.
With each of these purposes come responsibilities for the Department of Homeland Security. First, DHS is responsible for overseeing the protection of the government domain. Second, DHS use intrusion detection tools to monitor government network traffic for malicious activity and uses this resulting data to address cyber vulnerabilities. Third, DHS ensure the security and resiliency of government networks.
