DHS/ALL/PIA-074 Chief Human Capital Officer DHS Volunteer Force
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is recruiting federal employees from all DHS Components and from other federal agencies for the DHS Volunteer Force (DVF), a program that deploys volunteers to the southern border and other locations to help respond to a humanitarian and security crisis. DVF volunteers support U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in those DHS Components’ efforts to respond to the border crisis and to stabilize the region. CBP volunteers are assigned to one of five roles that provide services to migrants and detainees: meal distribution, medical assessment, hospital watch, personal property management, or high capacity transport. ICE volunteers are either federal attorneys that help manage ICE’s immigration litigation case load or federal health care professionals that help evaluate and treat ICE detainees. DHS is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because the systems and processes that support the DVF program collect, use, store, and share personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII).
