My DHS Idea

2018 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review

Welcome to the 2018 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) conversation! The Department of Homeland Security conducts a top-to-bottom strategic review every four years, considering some of the most pressing questions facing our organization and the homeland security enterprise as a whole. We will periodically post topics relating to our strategy development work over the next several months as part of the "My DHS Idea" campaign. Our Office of Strategy staff will moderate and contribute to discussions on an occasional basis, incorporating key ideas into the strategy review process as appropriate. You can post your own ideas, comment on other people's ideas, and vote on the ideas that you think are the best. Our finished product – the QHSR -- will be presented to Congress at the end of this year as required by law.

One of the main goals of DHS Open Data is to facilitate the release of DHS high-value datasets whenever possible. High-value datasets include data that: were previously not provided but increase accountability and responsiveness, increase public knowledge, further the core mission of DHS, create economic opportunity or respond to identified needs or demands. For more information on what DHS is doing with Open Data, visit our topic page.
