He graduated from Hope High School, Emerson College and Bryant University.  He was in the United States Marine Corps, serving his country honorably, and after being wounded, Ed returned to Rhode Island to serve his second passion in life, the Providence Police Department. During his service with the Providence Police,  Ed served in many capacities. From the first Police K-9 unit in New England with his beloved partner Shadow, to his experience in the bomb squad, to his wheel experience as a motorcycle cop, both as a Patrolman and later Sergeant,.

 Lieutenant Ed Malloy will be remembered most reverently for his compassion and respect for the people he served. As Assistant Director and later Director of the training Academy, overseeing many Academy classes, Lieutenant Malloy took raw police recruits and forged them into men and women, passionate about civic duty and pride and was a role model for the city's youth. Lieutenant Malloy trained the first Police Academy class to include five female officers, through a complete Police Academy, including boxing and hand to hand tactics in Rhode Island History. Lt Malloy will also be remembered for establishing and running the first stress unit, not only for the Providence Police Department, but also other departments, to make sure that any police officer or their families would never suffer alone. This served as a model for many departments throughout the Northeast.
