Author Information

After four years in the British Army, during which time he served in Germany and Aden, Tony Moore joined the Metropolitan Police. In a career spanning twenty-eight years he served successively at Commercial Street, Holborn, Bethnal Green, City Road, New Scotland Yard, Islington, Caledonian Road, Leyton, Kensington and Notting Hill. He served twice on the staff at The Police Staff College. An experienced public order commander, he was involved in the policing of a number of high profile events, including the Iranian Embassy Siege, Notting Hill Carnival, the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer, and, over a period of time, football hooliganism and clashes between right and left-wing demonstrators. On leaving the police, he became Associate Director of the Resilience Centre at that part of Cranfield University based within what was originally known as the Royal Military College of Science but then became the Defence College of Management and Technology, at Shrivenham. There he taught on a number of Masters Courses, primarily on crisis and disaster management, and leadership and decision-making, but also ran short courses overseas on behalf of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Ministry of Defence. He holds a Master of Philosophy degree (M.Phil) from the University of Southampton, is a President Emeritus of the Institute of Civil Protection and Emergency Management, and a member of the Police History Society, the Metropolitan Police History Society and London Historians. Apart from many articles on policing and emergency management, Tony's publications include Tolley's Principles and Practice of Disaster Management (as co-editor) (three editions 2002-2006); Disaster and Emergency Management Systems; Policing Notting Hill: Fifty Years of Turbulence; and The Killing of Constable Keith Blakelock: The Broadwater Farm Riot.
