UH has hired a new chief of police, who started Feb. 20.
“I am looking forward to working for this wonderful University with a very supportive staff,” said Chief Ceaser Moore, a UH-Downtown graduate.
“I hope to make the Cougar community a safer place to work, live, study and visit.”
Moore is a native Houstonian and started as a Houston police officer patrolling the streets surrounding UH in 1984.
He was later married at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church across the street from the University.
“My dad is a UH grad, my oldest daughter is a UH grad and I am a UH-D grad,” Moore said. “As you can see, I am tied to this area.”
The new chief of police brought 27 years of Houston Police Department experience to the University police.
“I have a vast array of police experience — over 27 years,” he said.
“I have several years of security experience as well. I bring passion, caring and respect to the position. I am excited and humbled by the opportunity. I will give the UH community my best.”
Moore said he couldn’t have been happier to start the new position.
“I thought the job at UH was perfect for me, that is why I applied,” he said.
“This is the only policing job that I have ever applied for other than my Houston PD job. I have always had an affinity for academia and policing. As the police chief at UH, I am close to two things that I love.”

those comments are not posted by one person… I should know… I worked under C. Moore as well and the things they have to say are true… he was booted out of the north station… enjoy UH… hahahahahahaha…
@barbara , do the research, demand to know what university he receive his graduate work at, and go from there… Unless you were at HPD working for him, then you don't know his true colors.. It shouldnt take long to see them.. He is a racist…
Despite what people have to say whether right or wrong pertaining to Chief Ceasar Moore, …to be called out of your name never solves anything, it just stirs up strife….I will leave with this quote" Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing"!!
called out of your name?
seems like these disgruntled cops are better journalists/investigators than our school/student newspaper if it's true that he lied on his resume.
i'd like to see the minutes from the trustee meetings where they went over hiring him. too bad they don't record the entire meetings and post them on the internet. would take all of 10 seconds, but transparency isn't the UH/Elitist way.
My last sentence sould have read as a question : is he a racist…
Look up the characteristics of a sociopath. That's what those of you at U of H have to look foward to. Little Caesar is a text-book sociopath. He is a hater, a liar, a coward and is despised at HPD by those of ALL races.
He is genuinely a poor choice as chief. His bad decision making will manifest very quickly. Current UHPD employees had better hang on as the ride until his departure will be rough. His hiring was a very bad decision.
barbara must be Moore's mother and Mary his sister…His only two friends in this world…Like truthmaker said..go do your homework within HPD and you'll find out that Moore was the Captain Bligh of this generation..UHPD will soon find out..Walk the plank beeoatches!
Good luck Uof H officers, use a recorder, and document everything.
yea i feel sorry for the UH officers start applying somewhere else while you can
Mark my words, Watch the staff in the UH chiefs office, Within six months to a year, every white officer in that office will be gone. I feel so sorry for those officers at UH, what a shame.
Wow in about a year whoever did this hire is going to be saying I hope they don't fire me for this hire
Whoever did this needs to be fired !!!
