While at St. Mike's Cpl. Beer was a standout defenseman and assistant captain, playing a pivotal role in leading the Purple Knights to the 1999 NCAA Division II national championship. His remarkable achievements on the ice earned him a well-deserved spot in the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019. After graduating with a biology degree, Cpl. Beers transitioned from SMC into a distinguished career with the South Burlington Police Department, joining in 2001. Since then, he has been an unwavering and beloved presence in the agency, dedicating himself to serving the community of South Burlington with passion and commitment.

Sgt. Maloney was involved with SMFR, MOVE, and International Outreach during his time at SMC. From this, he discovered his passion for service and grew a range of knowledge about marginalized populations and effective communication skills locally and abroad. He cannot imagine another job that could provide as much impact on his community as SBPD has. Sgt. Maloney is also grateful for the extensive benefits, supportive work culture, and work-life balance allowing him a fulfilling lifestyle.
