Program Design & Goals:
America shares 7,000 miles of land border with Canada and Mexico, as well as rivers, lakes and coastal waters around the country. Protecting these borders from the illegal movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, is essential to US National Security, public safety, economic prosperity, and development.
DSI’s Border & National Security Summit advances goals to secure US borders through discussions on personnel, technology, and infrastructure; as well as working closely with Canadian and Mexican, federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners in a full spectrum event.
For border communities, important barometers for success are security and facilitation of travel and trade. It means an environment where businesses can conduct cross-border trade and flourish. DSI is proud to partner with the Border Commerce and Security Council to advance the priorities which facilitate the flow of legitimate trade and travel.
