Graeme Augustine Dallow OBE, Law Prof, (1930-20 January 2014[1]) was a senior member of the New Zealand Police, attaining the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.
Early life
Dallow was born in Auckland and was educated at St Peter's College, Grafton.[2][3] He was the older brother of Ross Dallow.
Career
Dallow joined the New Zealand Police in the late 1940s. He commenced duty as a constable in Police street patrols in Auckland and noticed how high the number of Māori offenders was and how much Police work was devoted to them.[4] In 1969, Dallow, as Superintendent, was appointed as the Police representative on the joint committee of Government Officials and the New Zealand Māori Council to discuss the interaction of the Police and the Maori Wardens established under the Maori Welfare Act 1962. This resulted in increased cooperation between the bodies.[5] In the 1970s, Dallow, as Chief Superintendent, was a member of the Police National Headquarters planning team for the 1973 Springbok tour (which in the end did not take place). He saw the possibility of utilising the training in crowd control for that tour to deal with increasing levels of street violence, especially in Auckland, which followed the extension of liquor-licencing laws from 1968. "Operation Cleanstreet" was set up to test these techniques.[6] Following on from this, in 1974, Dallow was instrumental in setting up the Task Force to deal with street disorder among the large Māori and Pacific communities that had migrated to South Auckland.[7] In 1977, Dallow was placed in charge of the new Public Affairs Directorate in Police National Headquarters.[8] In 1981, Dallow, then Assistant Commissioner of Police and having responsibility for Police training and personnel, introduced martial arts into the training of the New Zealand Police. He was a martial arts practitioner himself.[9] After his retirement, Dallow was keen exponent of the Tango and taught the dance in Wellington.[10]
