Where he attained experience and proficiency in several forensic disciplines. Over several years he received numerous commendations, while routinely maintaining excellent and/or outstanding performance evaluations.
Beers’ career in law enforcement ended prematurely as the result of what later became known as the, New York State Police, Troop ‘C’ evidence tampering scandal. Beers, who was initially cleared of any wrong doing was later falsely accused of a host of crimes related to his work as a police officer. After a two-year legal battle that included two trials, Beers was totally exonerated of all criminal charges. But despite his complete exoneration, Beers was fired from his position as a police officer. Over the next two years, Beers transitioned his training and experience into the private sector, where he became a licensed private investigator. Starting from scratch, he organized and started his own investigative business he would name; New Perspective Investigations, specializing in criminal defense investigation and consulting. Since then, he has worked on numerous high-profile murder cases, including the one he will detail in this book, as one of the most unique and challenging cases of his career. |
