Clayton Moore

Clayton Moore was the first African American hired onto the Fostoria, Ohio police force in 1986. In 2008, the City of Fostoria claimed sixteen conduct violations against Moore and fired him. 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.

A timely and unique account of the intersection of race and law enforcement in America, Moore shares his story in his first book: “Good Cop, Black Cop: Guilty Until Proven Innocent.”
