Michel Rey Moore (né Sanchotena; born July 2, 1960) is a retired American law enforcement officer who served as the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from 2018 until 2024.

In 2016, Moore was assigned as the First Assistant Chief and transferred to be the Director – Office of Operations, responsible for overseeing the department's geographic bureaus and patrol divisions which provide uniformed and investigative services to the city.

[4] In 2016, Moore was a finalist to be selected as Chief of the Dallas Police Department, which the position was eventually awarded to U. Renee Hall.

During the news conference, he discussed various topics, including his pledge that the Department would police with purpose, compassion and partnerships and build upon the legacy established by Chief Charlie Beck.

Moore stated it was the "most aggressive act" he could take, and hoped it would send a clear message that the LAPD does not tolerate such behavior because of "how corrosive it is to the public trust".
