Management of Mental Health Cases in Immigration Detention
This Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) report "report addresses Immigration and Customs Enforcement's management of mental health cases in immigration detention. It is based on interviews with employees and officials of relevant agencies and institutions, direct observations, and a review of applicable documents." According to the audit: "The Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Health Service Corps staffs only 18 of the nearly 250 detention centers nationwide and has limited oversight and monitoring for mental health cases across immigration detention centers. As a result, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not fully aware of all detainees with mental health conditions, or the level of care being provided. The Health Service Corps has experienced persistent vacancies in mental health positions which have raised concerns about the effectiveness of provider care. As of August 2010, vacancy rates at 11 of the 18 facilities staffed with Health Service Corps employees were 50% or more. In addition, facilities were not always well-equipped to support the needs of detainees with mental illness or located in areas with access to community mental health care facilities. Immigration and Customs Enforcement needs to (1) establish a staffing plan that aligns staffing with the facilities' mental health caseload, (2) make appropriate space available to provide needed treatment, (3) develop a classification system for facilities to determine the level of care that can be provided, (4) make timely requests for mental health information, (5) clarify decision-making authorities for detainee transfer decisions, (6) establish protocols for handling mental health information, (7) release guidance on custodians, and (8) develop field guidance for using specialty facilities."

Federal Emergency Management Agency Faces Challenges in Modernizing Information Technology
This Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) report addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's information systems. "[The OIG] audited the Federal Emergency Management Agency's efforts to provide the information systems needed to support its disaster response mission operations. The objective of [the] audit was to determine whether the agency's information technology modernization approach adequately addresses planning, implementation, and management to support efficient and effective disaster relief assistance. [...] The agency's existing information technology systems do not support disaster response activities effectively. The agency has a number of information technology infrastructure modernization initiatives under way. However, it does not have a comprehensive information technology strategic plan with clearly defined goals and objectives or guidance for program office initiatives. In addition, it has not completed its efforts to document the agency's enterprise architecture. Without these critical elements, the agency is challenged to establish an effective approach to modernize its information technology infrastructure and systems."

U.S. Secret Service's Information Technology Modernization Effort (Redacted)
The objective of this Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit was "to determine whether the U.S. Secret Service's information technology modernization approach is effective in supporting its protective and investigative missions, goals, and objectives. The U.S. Secret Service has made progress in implementing its modernization program, but faces challenges to reach its stated objectives. Although it has an Information Technology Strategic Plan, it did not update the plan to guide its modernization program, address its system weaknesses, or integrate with DHS' technology direction. The U.S. Secret Service also did not sufficiently report and track system weaknesses because of limited staff. With insufficient staff, the initial modernization program schedule was not realistic. [...] The U.S. Secret Service has implemented a communication approach for the modernization program. As a result, its leadership, management, and staff were involved in the transformation, which should help ensure the program's success. In addition, the U.S. Secret Service implemented an internal governance approach for the program, establishing guidance to align mission needs and resources. However, it did not implement a formal department-level investment governance mechanism to provide integrated feedback and direction for the transformation program effort. To address this challenge, it created an Executive Steering Committee with members from the U.S. Secret Service and the department. The U.S. Secret Service can further improve its modernization approach by strengthening its Chief Information Officer's information technology investment authority. [The OIG recommends] that the U.S. Secret Service develop an information technology staffing plan, formalize the Executive Steering Committee, and provide its Chief Information Officer with agency-wide information technology budget and investment review authority."

CBP's Efficacy of Controls Over Drug Seizures
This Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) report "addresses the efficacy of Customs and Border Protection's [CBP] controls for receipting and recording, transporting, storing, and disposing of drug seizures. It is based on interviews with employees and officials of relevant agencies and institutions, direct observations, and a review of applicable documents." According to the results of the audit, "CBP's controls for receipting and recording, transporting, storing, and disposing of seized drugs were not always effective. CBP field personnel did not always receipt and record, transport, store, or dispose of seized drug s according to the policies and procedures in its 'Seized Asset Management and Enforcement Procedures Handbook.' In some cases, field personnel circum vented established guidance by using invalid waivers. CBP field personnel did not always comply with policies and procedures because of insufficient oversight, communication, and staffing throughout key stages of the seizure process. With a significant increase in drug seizures over the past 4 years, it is imperative that CBP comply with its established guidance to ensure that seized drugs are protected from loss, theft, or abuse, and to maintain evidentiary value in the event of legal proceedings."

Ohio Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program Subgrants Fiscal Years 2004-2006
This Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit "addresses the accountability and proper use of grant funds of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program, subgranted by the state of Ohio during fiscal years 2004-2006. It is based on interviews with employees and officials of relevant agencies and institutions, direct observations, and a review of applicable documents." The OIG audit "focused on approximately $21,500,000 awarded during fiscal years 2004 through 2006. [The OIG] reviewed questioned costs of $1,992,209 in non-payroll and $2,851,945 in payroll costs totaling $4,844,154 previously identified by the accounting firm Crowe Horwath. [The OIG] verified these costs were either not allowable or did not have proper supporting documentation, and confirmed the findings in the Crowe Horwath report. The expenditures were unallowable because they were unrelated to the grant activity, misclassified, outside the period of performance, or not supported by receipts or invoices. We also reviewed a judgmental sample of the remaining grant funds expended by the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, and agreed with Crowe Horwath's determination of compliance with grant requirements for those funds. [The OIG] made two recommendations to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to request reimbursement of $1,992,209 from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency for non-payroll expenditures that were unallowable or did not have proper supporting documentation, and $2,851,945 in unallowable payroll expenditures, for a total of $4,844,154."

DHS Department-wide Management of Detection Equipment (Redacted)
This Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) report "addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the department's management of detection equipment. The report identifies measures that the department can take to enhance its overall effectiveness. It is based on interviews with employees and officials of relevant agencies and institutions, direct observations, and a review of applicable documents." From the executive summary: "The department can improve management of its detection equipment by using strategic sourcing principles that it has applied to the acquisition of other commodities, such as law enforcement officer firearms and ammunition The department does not have a logistics process in place to facilitate strategic sourcing of detection equipment. Strategic sourcing would require that management standardize equipment purchases for explosive, metal, and radiation detection equipment; identify common mission requirements among components; and develop standard data elements for managing the inventory accounts of detection equipment. Improving its management of detection equipment will offer the department opportunities to streamline the acquisition process and improve efficiencies."
