Robin Oake QPM is the former Chief Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary and prior to that Assistant Chief Constable in the Greater Manchester Police.

He was Chief Constable of the Isle of Man from 1986 to 1999, when he was succeeded by Mike Culverhouse.

In 2006 he appeared in court to testify in support of Alan Graham Clucas who had been convicted as an accessory to the murder of an innocent young girl in Ireland after Mr Clucas was prosecuted for a vicious attack where he rendered his victim unconscious and proceeded to inflict various injuries on him. Thanks largely to the participation of Mr Oake, Clucas escaped jail. His victim warned it was only a matter of time before Clucas re-offended.

He is the father of murdered PC Stephen Oake, who was nominated for the George Cross but denied it by the Cabinet Office's George Cross Committee. [1]

He is chairman of the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association.
