What Is Assault Police?

Assaulting a police officer in the execution of their duty is a serious offence under section 60 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW). Penalties range from 5 years’ imprisonment for an assault without injury to 14 years where the assault causes grievous bodily harm during a public disorder. Courts treat these charges with particular severity. Defences may include challenging whether the officer was acting lawfully, self-defence, and duress.
