DHS/S&T/PIA-018 First Responder Technologies Program

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) First Responder Technologies (R-Tech) program often requires the collection of personal information and video recordings of first responder research volunteers in support of operational testing, evaluation, demonstration, and outreach activities. This privacy impact assessment (PIA) discusses the risks associated with the use of volunteers to test first responder technologies that are otherwise not privacy sensitive.
