Police Executive
In 1993, Moose became the police chief of the Portland Police Bureau and served as the top law enforcement official for the city until 1999. During his time in Portland he also taught at Portland State University and was a member of the Oregon Air National Guard. On August 2, 1999, he became the 15th Chief of the Montgomery County Police Department. In October 2002, he was the primary official in charge of the efforts to apprehend those responsible for the Beltway sniper attacks. In June 2003, Moose resigned after a disagreement with Montgomery County regarding a policy that barred him from working on a book and consulting on a movie about the sniper investigation. The book was released in September 2003 and is entitled Three Weeks in October: The Manhunt for the Serial Sniper (ISBN 0-525-94777-9).
