[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1825442, member: 12952"] [SIZE=6][B]Homeland Security Can’t Track Its Own Warehouses[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=6][B]Department of Homeland Security officials are wasting taxpayers’ money by failing to keep track of how many warehouses their agencies have. “Because the warehouse inventories are inaccurate, DHS cannot manage warehouses or… limit the size of real property inventories and reduce costs,” the DHS inspector general said in a report made public Tuesday. “We found buildings that should not have been on the department’s [URL='https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/Mgmt/2015/OIG-15-138-Aug15.pdf']warehouse inventory[/URL]. Conversely, we found buildings that should have been classified as warehouses, but were not,” the IG said. The buildings vary in size – including everything from a 45 square-foot shed to a 500,000 square-foot warehouse – and store various items, such as disaster relief supplies, computers, and seized weapons and drugs. DHS spent an estimated $60 million on around 1,628 warehouses, in 2013, “consisting of nearly 6.3 million square feet, which is about the size of 110 football fields,” the IG said. Of the 210 buildings the IG reviewed, nearly one-quarter were not warehouses. [/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
