As part of that, DHS leadership must define concrete and sensible objectives and measures of success. These can be used to assess results along the way, to guide allocation of resources, and to inform programming and budgeting for future capabilities and functions. This report offers research and recommendations on ways to measure the overall efforts of the national border-security enterprise between ports of entry. To be meaningful, the set of measures for effectiveness of border security should be sound, reliable, useful, and general. Three DHS missions appear to currently be of special interest to DHS leadership because they are especially problematic: illegal drug control, counterterrorism, and illegal migration. The report recommends measuring performance of three fundamental functions that border-security efforts contribute to achieving national policy objectives: interdiction, deterrence, and exploiting networked intelligence. If the steps described here are taken, DHS and its components will be in a better position to discuss past performance and to provide reasoned justifications for future allocation of resources. Further, they will be able to relate their efforts to those of other agencies in pursuit of national objectives. 588 0 Print version record. 610 10 United States.|bDepartment of Homeland Security|xPlanning. 650 0 Border security|zUnited States|xEvaluation. 650 0 Strategic planning|zUnited States. 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPolitical Freedom & Security|xLaw Enforcement.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xLaw Enforcement.|2bisacsh 700 1 Willis, Henry H. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tMeasuring the effectiveness of border security between ports-of-entry.|dSanta Monica, CA : Rand, 2010|z9780833049773|w(DLC) 2010013974|w(OCoLC)598305109 830 0 Technical report (Rand Corporation) ;|vTR-837-DHS. 914 ocn676696359 994 92|bCKE
