The Commissioner of the City police, Owen Kelly, described him as "one of the most professionally accomplished police officers I have ever known", and as a "modest man" who "would be the last to mention his own achievements". He said "[h]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.
