Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for public security, roughly comparable to the interior or home ministries of other countries. Its stated missions involve anti-terrorism, border security, immigration and customs, cyber security, and disaster prevention and management.

DHS will require researchers to deposit their releasable data into a publicly accessible data repository that will be identified by DHS (target date FY18).”
