The relationship between Malton and Bobby started during the Police Training Academy, where Bobby spent some time watching Malton. Malton didn't talk as much as the other Cadets, and not a lot of the instructors were really observing him as much as Bobby. After becoming an official Officer of the LSPD, Malton decided to go by the callsign "409" (the LSPD equivalent of Bobby's "309" callsign. Since his promotion to Officer, Malton has been known as the "Bike God", for patrolling and crashing frequently with the LSPD motorbike. Malton and Bobby now have friendly banter whenever they see each other on duty, and ultimately Bobby truly respects him.
On February 2nd, 2020, Bobby was drunk on duty, due to trying Michael Murphy's homemade beer, and decided to take the bike out to patrol with his "protégé". Malton made his Sergeant recite the "Oath of the Bike God", to become an honorary member of Malton's Motorcycles. A few days later, Malton was able to give Bobby the report he made about the bike patrol, which Malton took pictures of Bobby with the motorcycle. Malton additionally made an official certification for being inducted as an honorary member.
Malton and Toretti occassionally patrol and pursue active investigations together. Their relationship became a lot stronger since the day Toretti talked to Malton about him not being a Senior Officer. Malton responded by saying that they, together, were going to work towards the promotion for him.
One day, after the DA pressed charges against Brittany Angel, Olivia Copper, and Stephen McClane for Attempted Murder, they decided that it was time for "Serious Season". Together, they went on patrol and enforced the law to the fullest extent; impounding more than 6 vehicles for improper window tints, and giving all the citations possible - all in the time span of half an hour. This started the best duos of the "NA timezone" called Domenance; Owen Svensen also stated that the two of them combined results in one "co-Sergeant" for the shift.
Malton was working on getting Toretti a promotion to Senior (promoted July 4th, 2020), and maybe even get him into Joint Task Force. The two often go UM or UC to catch house robbers and street racers. Malton refers to Toretti as his "protegé", even though they seem more like normal partners, or patrol buddies. They often have the most disparate conversations; from coffee to love-life, investigations to pee troughs, and so on and so forth. From Malton's point of view, they go well together because they have the same perspective on things, resulting in them being so synced.
The start of Malton and Divine's friendship is hazy, but they have worked very closely together on the job ever since. They often ride together, partner up on their shifts, and work together on investigations. They tend to balance each other out very well; Divine gets Malton to open up a little more, where Malton tends to keep Divine grounded and level-headed. Divine will frequently go to Malton for advice on various topics, from his love life to investigation help and everything in-between, and Malton does his best to give the best advice that he's capable of.
In that same vein, even though Malton is normally rather lackluster in expressing his emotions (aside from the rare rush of anger here and there), Divine will often go to Malton when he needs a shoulder to cry on or when he just needs someone to listen, and it appears that Malton doesn't really mind it, because while he isn't the best with things like emotions, he'll do the best he can to offer comfort and to help ease Divine's worries. Divine has stated that he considers Malton to be his best friend and like a brother to him, which means a lot as he doesn't trust very many people. It is fairly obvious to others that they have a strong bond between them, and even though that bond has nearly been broken before, they have reconciled and their bond is still fully intact.
GeneralEmu has stated that if Malton failed Police Academy, that he would have "snapped" and turned to the life of a serial killer, to spite the LSPD. (Small personality traits of this underlying characteristic still exist, such as Malton's lack of emotion when digging up a dead body in the South Side and immediately suggesting Baas to kill Shelly after he confided in him about her infidelity.)
Only dates Catholics.
Decided to stay a Cadet for several weeks after the rest of his Academy class. He only opted to become a Solo Cadet and Officer after being fully confident in his abilities, and having a full understanding of his job and responsibilities.

His callsign when bringing out Air-1 is "Emu-1".
Temporarily changed his callsign to "Happy-1" during his blonde/upbeat phase.
One of the Chief of Police, Bobby Smith's, favorite Cadets that he has trained. Bobby considers Malton his "protégé", and has even joined Malton's Motorcycles. Bobby has great respect for Malton's dedication, constant communication, and overall police work (even if Bobby constantly says that he "hates" him).
Suspended himself for 3 days following a shooting with Eugene Zuckerberg on April 2nd, 2020.
