Mr. Thomas P. Moonier, DSN 3259, started his law enforcement career as a clerk in the Operation's Pool on 10/16/1958, followed by other assignments that included working in the Uniform Supply Division, Operation's Pool, 4th District-clerk, Central-clerk, New's Desk-clerk, and finally the Communications Division as a Teletype Operator-Dispatcher. Mr. Moonier resigned his position to seek gainful employment with the Saint Louis County Police Department on November 21, 1963. Mr. Moonier served a total of 4 years, 1 month, and 5 days of faithful and dedicated service to the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
Major Thomas Moonier, DSN 316, of Saint Louis County, retired as a major of police. Of note, his nephew, Mr. Thomas McCormack, DSN 1459, also served with this agency as he retired from the Communications Division.
If his fascinating stories are to be believed, Tom was born on August 12, 1940 in South St. Louis and enjoyed an animated youth with his siblings. In his teenage years, Tom met Rita. They were married in 1960, and from that day on, Tom referred to Rita as his bride. They raised their five children together and weathered all of life's ups and downs, as well as being parental influences to countless others along the way.His unconditional love and support has touched many generations, who have already expressed how lucky they are to have known him.
Tom had a decorated career in law enforcement spanning over 51 years of service to several police departments in the St. Louis area. Tom originally served as a teletype operator (dispatcher) for four years for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. Then he moved to the St. Louis County Police Department for 36 years, where he later retired at the rank of Major. After a year of retirement, he just wasn't ready to give up police work, so he then moved on to be the Chief of Ferguson. Twelve years later, he decided to retire for good. The optimism of his spirit and tireless work ethic are reflected not only in his family, but also in the numerous officers and communities he served.
Always proud of each and every member of his large family, he had the uncanny ability to make each of us believe we were his favorite.Tom's children include John (Cheryl) Moonier, Christine (Tim) Stoverink, Katie (Richard) Erhard, Mary (Chuck) Weinman, and Erin (Michael) Goodman.
