Operation Amarok One, an intelligence-based policing strategy, involved officers from all Police Area Commands and Police Districts in NSW, as well as each region’s Domestic Violence High-Risk Offender Teams (DVHROT) and other specialist units.
During the operation, 648 people were arrested, which included 164 of NSW’s most wanted domestic violence offenders.
In addition to domestic violence-related offences, police detected various other serious offences, including prohibited firearm and weapon possession, drug possession and supply, with a total of 1,153 charges laid.
Over the four days, police engaged with 1,998 high-risk domestic violence offenders, served 655 outstanding Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs), completed 3,890 ADVO compliance checks and 1,324 bail compliance checks, and conducted 119 Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) searches.
Further, police seized 19 firearms and 49 prohibited weapons, as well as various types of illicit drugs located during 116 interactions.
Corporate Sponsor for Domestic and Family Violence, Deputy Commissioner Mal Lanyon, says domestic and family-related violence is the most challenging community issue of our generation.
“We continue to battle the perception that domestic violence is a ‘family matter’ and therefore should be treated as ‘private business,” he said.
“That is certainly not the case. It is a community matter, and we all have a part to play in stopping the senseless loss of lives due to this crime.”
