About Brian Moore

Born 1959. Brian Moore is a police officer.

Brian Moore QPM (born 1959) is a British retired police officer, who served as the first Director General of UK Border Force from 1 March 2012 to 1 October 2012, overseeing the London 2012 Olympics.

In July 2012, Moore announced that he would be standing down from the post in October 2012, choosing not to apply for the role permanently, to pursue "further options in his policing career". His leadership of the UK Border Force was controversial after reports of increased customer hospitality and uniform standards, while airport queues rose.

In May 2012, following an internal sexual harassment case involving one of Moore's senior officers, the coroner cleared Wiltshire Police of any wrongdoing; however, it noted that the force was "ill-prepared" to deal with such an internal matter and an independent inquiry found loopholes in the vetting of the senior officer.

Early career Brian Moore was Chief Constable of Wiltshire Constabulary from 1 January 2008 until 1 March 2012. During his leadership he made Wiltshire the safest county in the country.

Moore was previously the Deputy Chief Constable at Surrey Police, after working his way up the ranks since 1975 in Lancashire Constabulary, Metropolitan Police and Surrey Police.

Honours While Chief Constable of Wiltshire, Moore was awarded the Queen's Police Medal in the 2009 New Year Honours.
