    SDUWof this effort, the ICEIDRO Technology Solutions Working Group has been examining
    various technical solutions to achieving useM. reliable, and continuous reponmg of critical
    infonnatioo identified and captured throughout th'e apprebension. detention, and removal

    Historically, DRO has been unable to provide reliable memes from DACS due to incomplete
    DQG insufficiently detailed DACS data. Current DHS demands for data make timely and
    CQmplete DACS data entJy critical, and a key element in the su~ess of the S,2SRVHG
    Info~ion Technology (IT) solutions. Reiterating &?O
    7&-OW policy. DACS continues to be the
    single required official data source for DRO. All DRO personnel are mandated to completely

    DACS, to HQVZH that data LVavailable to both field and headquarters

    N an example, the ''OATB-TP-REQ'' and ''DATE~TD·REC'' LQthe "CASS" screen are not
    currently mandatory fields. However, the Department's Secure Border Initiative requires a
    fuUer,ullderstanding of each part ofthe.detention F<4OH CaptUring this infonnation will assist
    the-Department, and more specifically ORO. in assessing and thereby reducing thcaverage
    detention cycle time for thcOTM{Other Than Mexican) popu~tion. This will enable DRO to
    more efficiently utilize its resources.

    Both 'he executive and legislative biancheSwill increasingly rely upon DACS information LQ
    the cdming months. Timely and accUl31e entry of all informlltion into DACS will be
    considered a veryhlgh priority. A mechanism to monitor DACS peJd usage, data integrity and
    completeness is being created to assist in managing and correcting data entry issues.
