A review of the Department of Homeland’s Security executive and senior staffing structure. (posted 10/16/07)
Department of Homeland Security
In January 2003, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) became the Nation’s 15th Cabinet department, consolidating 22 agencies under one unified organization, with homeland security as its mission. The Department is now the third largest cabinet agency with more than 180,000 employees located in every state and many foreign countries. Since it was created less than five years ago, the Department has never gone through a presidential transition.
With that in mind Congressional leaders believe it is prudent to review the senior staffing structure and composition at DHS, as well as to assess and benchmark senior career training and development programs to help ensure that DHS is well positioned to carry out its important mission through the Presidential transition of 2009.
