June 29, 2009 – 11:20 am
Marking the third milestone in the Department-wide Efficiency Review launched in March this year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano unveiled six new efficiency initiatives. Commenting on the initiatives, Secretary Napolitano said, “Efficiency Review is changing the way DHS does business – eliminating waste, improving customer service, and making the most of taxpayer dollars” and “every dollar saved and every efficiency realized helps us better fulfill our critical mission – to secure the country and protect the American people.” Napolitano divulged that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) expects to save more than $61,000 by utilizing government vehicles instead of private rentals at one of its training facilities and more than $40,000 annually by eliminating subscriptions to publications available on-line. Further, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has identified $130,000 in savings by replacing a management training that previously used private facilities with teleconferences. USCIS also saved approximately $165,550 by utilizing filing systems and computer equipment from DHS’ excess property inventory rather than purchasing new products.
