Brian Moore (police officer)


Brian Moore QPM was the first Director General of UK Border Force, he held the post between 1 March 2012 and 1 October 2012 in a temporary capacity, 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 vetting of the senior officer.
