Born in the inner-Sydney suburb of Glebe, Moroney moved with his family to the south-western suburb of Villawood as a child in the 1950s. He completed his schooling at De La Salle, Bankstown. He has undergraduate and post-graduate university qualifications.
In 1965 he joined the police force and was first posted in Liverpool. Moroney then served more than 14 years in country postings at Lismore and West Wyalong. Between 1987 and 1990 he was director of training at the New South Wales Police Academy in Goulburn.
Moroney married his wife Bev on 1 June 1968. She died on 24 May 2015 after a long illness. Two of their three sons followed Moroney into the police force. One is a senior sergeant at Green Valley, New South Wales in Sydney and another is a detective senior constable at the Counter-Terrorism Co-ordination Command.
Moroney joined the New South Wales Police Force in 1965 as a Probationary Constable with the No 22 Division (Liverpool, New South Wales). In 1973 he undertook a variety of general duty command roles in regional stations at Lismore, Coraki and West Wyalong, before being promoted to Senior Constable in 1974 and then Sergeant in 1981.
