Beers fills in as DHS deputy
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Tuesday named Rand Beers as acting deputy secretary until Janet Lute is confirmed by the Senate for the position.
The move coincided with the departure of incumbent deputy secretary Paul Schneider.
Beers served on Barack Obama’s transition team for homeland security. He has held several positions in the National Security Council and State Department under several presidents dealing with counter-terrorism, intelligence and counter-narcotics.
