He is also Associate Director at the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events at the University of Southern California.
Southers has also served as Deputy Director of Homeland Security for the State of California and positions at every level of government, ranging from Police Officer with the Santa Monica Police Department to Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
