DHS Science and Technology Directorate

DHS Science and Technology Directorate is an American government run sector of the Department of Homeland Security that shows technology of the department. However, most of the videos are around 40 minutes long and showcase other stuff. Some of their strategies in the field are shown which are called "Tactic [Number]", and these videos are very short. Some of the videos are directed more to the general public which are about the response of DHS during an emergency. Some of the videos have closed captioning, and there is a video with dramatic music which involves Cause V and some Canadian government officials with public safety communications. However, this is not seen with Mexico or other nearby countries since some resources go through Canada.
The Science and Technology Directorate is led by the Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Science and Technology, who is appointed by the President of the United States with confirmation by the United States Senate. William N. Bryan is the acting Under Secretary.
==Initiatives and programs==
The Under Secretary for Homeland Security Science and Technology currently administers a number of publicly available programs to promote independent development of homeland security technologies.
SAFECOM is the Federal umbrella program designed to foster interoperability among the Nation’s public safety practitioners, so that they may communicate across disciplines and jurisdictions during an emergency.
The SAFETY Act provides liability protections that make it feasible for sellers of qualified antiterrorism technologies to introduce homeland security solutions to the marketplace.
Homeland Open Security Technology (HOST) is a five-year, $10 million program to promote the creation and use of open security and open-source software in the United States government and military. In October 2011, the directorate won the Open Source for America 2011 Government Deployment Open Source Award for the program.
