Norman Thomas William Allan, CMG, MVO, QPM (3 June 1909 – 28 January 1977) was the Commissioner of the New South Wales Police Force, from 1962 to 1972.
He was also specially commended by the State Premier Robert Heffron for devotion to duty and exceptional skill and ability in connection with the conviction of Stephen Leslie Bradley for the murder of Graeme Thorne.
[1][2] Known unofficially as "Norman the Foreman," Allan finished his tenure during the years when Sir Robert Askin was Premier of New South Wales.
A close associate of prominent Sydney racing identity Perc Galea claimed that Police Commissioner Allan and his successor Frederick Hanson were paid $100,000 a year each in bribes.
Also included in the book is the allegation that Saffron paid for an overseas trip for Allan and an unnamed female companion.
