Author Information

Clayton Moore was the first African American hired onto the Fostoria, Ohio police force in 1986. In 2008, the City of Fostoria fired him, claiming Moore had violated the officer code of conduct sixteen times. He challenged the decision, and the arbiter of the case-in a scathing rebuke against the City-reinstated Sgt. Moore, who went on to serve for another ten years, retiring in 2018. Moore remains actively involved in his community. Good Cop, Black Cop: Guilty Until Proven Innocent is his first book. For updates on his work and media appearance, visit goodcopblackcop.com.
