Mr Robin Oake KStJ QPM LL.B FCTM
We welcome as the guest speaker at the 2008 National Prayer Breakfast Mr Robin Oake, retired Chief Constable of the Isle of Man. Mr Oake served with The Metropolitan Police from 1957-1975, where he progressed from the rank of Constable to Chief Inspector. While serving on the directing staff of the National Police College Bramshill, he read Law at University College London and Grays Inn. In 1978 he transferred to the Greater Manchester Police in the position of Superintendent. During his service in Manchester he progressed to Assistant Chief Constable. In 1986 he was appointed Chief Constable of the Isle of Man, where he served until his retirement in 1999.
In retirement he is currently serving as the Chairman of Age Concern, past Chairman of the Commonwealth Games Association and past President of the Christian Police Association, of which he is currently Vice President. He is a Chapter Member of the Order of St John's London.
Robin is a founder member of Port St Mary Baptist Church on the Isle of Man, where, for a number of years, he served as an elder. He and his wife Chris continue to be active in Christian work both on the Island and elsewhere. They testified very courageously and publicly what their Christian faith meant to them when in recent years in a terrorist attack in the City of Manchester they lost their only son Steve, a police officer with the Greater Manchester Police.
