In a statement on Wednesday, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the arrests of 644 people help protect victims from future violence.
Let’s be clear, domestic violence is a crime. Our operation was particularly focused on those criminals who were repeat offenders,” Ms Webb said.
Police and Counter Terrorism Minister Yasmin Catley said domestic violence is one of the biggest problems facing our generation.
“We know that domestic violence is a community-wide problem, and we need to address that in any way we can,” she said.
“And the NSW Police are doing just that through their action with Amarok.”
