He rose to the rank of District Inspector and in 1910 was appointed Chief Constable of Hull City Police. In 1922 he was appointed Chief Constable of Durham County Constabulary and remained in post until his death at the age of 68 following an operation. Since 1939 he had also been county organiser of Air Raid Precautions services for County Durham.

Morley was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1920 civilian war honours and was knighted in 1937.
