Govt working on law for tough punishments for police attackers

From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 7 February 2025

The government said it's working at pace on a new law that would mean tough punishments for people who attack police officers. A Waikato officer was injured last night after a driver allegedly drove into the patrol car, hitting the officer who had already got out of the car. The driver then took off, but a 47 year old has since been arrested. Deputy Police Commissoner Tania Kura spoke to Lisa Owen.
