Career
Moore joined the police force in 1955, following a period of National Service in the Royal Air Force and the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. As Commander, he oversaw the investigation into the death of Roberto Calvi, dubbed "God"s Banker", in June 1982. In July that year, Moore gave evidence in the trial of two City of London Police officers, held as part of Operation Countryman, in which he denied corruption allegations made by one of the defendants.
The allegations had been made on a secret tape recording, though the defendant had subsequently withdrawn them on the grounds that he had been drunk at the time they were made.
Moore was also involved with the police investigations into the collapses of the Bank of Cr and Commerce International and the Maxwell empire. He oversaw the establishment of the ring of steel surrounding the City of London in 1993.
Over his career, he received eleven commendations from commissioners and judges for his work. On 19 November 1993, Moore attempted to arrest a man he suspected to be a bogus charity worker collecting for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
During the arrest, he suffered cuts to his face, arms and legs, and was admitted to hospital the next day.
He had been due to retire that September. His funeral was held on 16 December at Saint John the Baptist Church, High Barnet. He said "is death is a great loss to this force and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him."
A coroner later ruled that Moore had been unlawfully killed, and the police inquiry into his death was subsequently stepped up to a murder inquiry.
