We determined that component personnel are not always safeguarding or tracking sensitive assets that, if lost, would result in critical mission impact or loss of life. Additionally, component’s practices surrounding badges may result in unnecessary risk. We recommended that DHS enhance policy, improve oversight, and require justifications for any non-law enforcement badges. We made six recommendations to improve the tracking and safeguarding of sensitive assets. DHS concurred with all six of our recommendations
