As a young man he worked as a "moler" for the Union Pacific Railway. He later entered the mattress and upholstery business, and eventually started a wallpaper and interior decorating business. In 1912 he became City Marshal, and held this office until 1916. From 1916 to 1931, Peters was the city's health officer. During his administration, the new Murray city electric power plant was completed.〔Frederick Peters, Murray City Civic Leader, Called to Reward. Murray Eagle December 26, 1935〕
He was an officer in the local Fraternal Order of Eagles. He was also a member of the State Firemen’s Association as he was a volunteer in the Murray Fire Department, Yeoman(fraternal order), and Woodmen of the World.〔Frederick Peters, Murray City Civic Leader, Called to Reward.

He was most noted for apprehending labor activist Joe Hill, who was charged with murdering a grocer in downtown Salt Lake City. Peters, while City Marshal, shot Hill in the hand when Hill tried to escape from a boardinghouse window, and turned Hill over to Officer Blaine L. Baxter of the Salt Lake City police department.〔Foner, Philip Sheldon; The case of Joe Hill. International Publishers Co, 1966 ISBN 0-7178-0022-9〕
