In a statement on Friday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced the appointment of Hugo Teufel III as the chief privacy officer for the department.
Teufel was the department’s associate general counsel and, according to Chertoff, is highly regarded throughout the department and the legal community for his expertise on privacy, employee relations and civil rights issues.
Teufel also has a wealth of government experience. He served previously as associate solicitor at the Department of the Interior and the deputy solicitor general for the state of Colorado. He is a graduate of the Washington College of Law at American University, where he was an editor of The Administrative Law Journal, and he is currently pursuing a master’s degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.
In the press release, Chertoff said Teufel has his complete confidence and support as chief privacy officer.
