Ms Moore's family described her as a "cherished daughter" and a "caring friend to many"
The officer is being probed for the potential offence of causing death by dangerous driving, the Independent Office for Police Conduct said.Ms Moore was killed in the crash on Sheil Road at about 20:00 GMT which involved a singled-crewed police car, which had been responding to an unrelated emergency call, the IOPC said.
However, the watchdog added that this does not necessarily mean disciplinary proceedings or criminal charges will follow. "Our investigation will look at the circumstances of the collision, including the actions and decision-making of the police driver and whether they were in line with policy and procedure," she said.
