| Issuing Security ClearancesThe Bureau of Diplomatic Security, through its Office of Personnel Security and Suitability, manages the State Department's personnel security clearance program. The Office of Personnel Security and Suitability reviews and analyzes investigations of employment candidates, employees, and others seeking access to the Department of State to assure that granting an individual access to classified information is clearly consistent with the interests of national security. The Office of Personnel Security and Suitability conducts about 25,000 personnel security clearances each year for the State Department and other federal agencies.
