He then earned a Ph.D. in urban studies and criminology in 1993. In 1993, Moose became the police chief of the Portland Police Bureau and served as the top law enforcement official for the city until 1999. In 1999, he became the 15th Chief of the Montgomery County Police Department in Maryland. In October 2002, he was the primary official in charge of the efforts to apprehend those responsible for the Beltway sniper attacks. Until 2005, Moose served as the Squadron Commander of the 113th Security Forces Squadron, D.C. Air National Guard, United States Air Force. Moose deployed to Operation Katrina and served as military liaison and adviser to the New Orleans Police Department in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Moose was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and served as the 154th Security Forces Commander in Hawaii. Moose later graduated from the Honolulu Police Academy and reported for duty as one of the members of the Honolulu Police Department. On August 4, 2010, The Gazette reported that Moose was no longer employed at the department. In this New York Times bestselling book, the police chief who led one of the most suspenseful manhunts in American history takes readers behind the headlines into the notorious "D.C. sniper" case that held the nation spellbound. In October 2002, ordinary Americans feared for their lives, too frightened to pump gas at the local station or let their children play outside. For twenty-three nightmarish days, a series of random sniper killings terrorized the Washington, D.C. area and launched the largest manhunt in American historyâ"under the harsh glare of a media frenzy. Three Weeks in October follows Charles Moose's efforts to crack a seemingly unsolvable case. As a stunned nation watched, Chief Moose stood tall in the face of horrific eventsâ"a courageous presence whose tenacity brought snipers John Allen Muhammed and Lee Boyd Malvo to justice. But this is also the inspirational story of Moose's rise from a young African American cop battling prejudice to a respected chief of policeâ"who couldn't stop until he captured two of the most bizarre killers America has ever known.
