He was the UK’s Association of Chief Police Officers policing lead from 2004 to 2010 on Human Trafficking, and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (now the NCA) programme director for programmes 14 and 15.

A former Chief Constable, Grahame managed a budget of some £140m and a workforce of approximately 2700 people, up in North Yorkshire, and successfully embedded a new Transformational culture into a transactionally dominated work place.
