Assaults on police officers are on the rise across the country, with this map revealing the most dangerous places to be a cop.
In the last three years, there have been 840 officer assaults in Middlesbrough, the equivalent of 566 attacks for every 100,000 of the population. That was followed by Stevenage in Hertfordshire where there were the equivalent of 547 assaults per 100,000 population, and then Norwich . In Manchester there have been numerous cases before the courts involving brutal attacks on police officers.
Sarah Jagger has a 16-year history of attacking police officers, shopkeepers and nurses. Jagger was initially convicted of battery in 2007 but after being conditionally discharged was convicted of threatening behaviour that same year. In 2008 she was given a six-month community order for common assault.
She was most recently back in court in December last year after attacking a prison officer as she delivered Jagger her lunch at Styal women’s jail. She was handed a suspended sentence after admitting assault. A National Police Chiefs' Council spokesperson said: “The health and wellbeing of our workforce is a top priority for all police chiefs, and we are constantly listening to feedback from those on the ground.
