6: National & Economic Security

Providing Essential Support to National and Economic Security

Other Information:

Homeland security is an integral element of broader U.S. national security and domestic policy. It is not, however, the only element. The National Security Strategy clearly identifies national defense and economic security as other elements -- along with homeland security -- of overall U.S. national security. DHS leads and supports many activities that provide essential support to national and economic security including, but not limited to: maximizing collection of customs revenue; maintaining the safety and security of the marine transportation system; preventing the exploitation of children; providing law enforcement training; and coordinating the Federal Government's response to global intellectual property theft. DHS contributes in many ways to these elements of broader U.S. national and economic security while fulfilling its homeland security missions.
