There has been a huge spike in these disgusting attacks against police officers lately.
He added: ‘Policing is a difficult enough job at the moment and officers and staff worry whether they might pick up the virus and may be taking it home to their loved ones.‘While we are taking whatever precautions we can, these attacks clearly heighten the risk and cause increased distress.’
The force said that, of the 33 offences recorded, 10 are still under investigation, 20 have resulted in charges or a summons and three were not progressed to charging due to evidential difficulties. Of those that have been finalised at court, five people have been sentenced to 26 weeks imprisonment each, two have been jailed for 12 and 16 weeks respectively and two were given suspended sentences, it said.
