The strength and success of DHS comes from its employees, the dedicated family of over 230,000 men and women serving across the nation and around the world. Recently, I asked to hear from the DHS workforce on issues that are most important to you, and I am proud to have the opportunity to answer your questions in a virtual “Ask the Secretary” question and answer session.
I have addressed a diverse selection of the most frequently asked questions submitted by you. As a DHS employee, you contribute daily to one of the most important missions there is — protecting our nation and the American people from threats of all kinds. I look forward to continuing this dialogue with you, so stay tuned for more requests for questions in the future. I thank you for your time, hard work and commitment to carrying out the DHS mission.
Yours very truly,
Secretary Napolitano
