About the Domestic Surveillance Directorate
The men and women of the Domestic Surveillance Directorate, together and individually, act for one thing and one thing alone ... WE ACT FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION. Each employee takes a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Our Vision
Domestic Information Dominance through Responsive Presence and Network Advantage.

Our Values
For us, collaboration is built into the very fabric of who we are.

Domestic Surveillance is a team sport. No one organization has the resources to do the job alone.
