Newstalk ZB can reveal officers reported more than 1000 attacks during 2022, up from 631 the year before, with Prime Minister Chris Hipkins saying any violence towards police is “unacceptable.”

One officer with years of experience on the frontline, speaking on the condition of anonymity, talked about the confronting reality of the job.

“I’ve been shot, stabbed, beaten, kicked ... you name it, they’ve done it to me,” they said. “Those stats are terrifying, that’s horrific.”
