Almost 600 people charged after NSW domestic violence blitz

Police believe they arrested 139 of NSW's most dangerous domestic violence offenders as part of the blitz.

Arms and illegal drugs were seized in searches including 22 guns and 40 prohibited weapons.

NSW Police said 1107 domestic violence, drug and gun possession charges were laid between July 12 and July 15.

Police and Counter Terrorism minister Yasmin Catley said NSW police receive more than 139,000 calls for assistance and have recorded more than 33,000 domestic-related assaults every year.

"These figures show this is an epidemic. We know domestic and family violence is one of the most underreported crime types," Ms Catley said.

"You've been warned. Your predatory behaviour will be policed to your door," she said.

Police made 315 applications for apprehended domestic violence orders (ADVO) across the July blitz, served 500 outstanding ADVOs, completed 4882 compliance checks and 1465 bail compliance checks.

NSW Police deputy commissioner Mal Lanyon said more than half the state's murders were domestic violence-related.

"While any form of domestic and family violence is unacceptable, those offenders who pose the greatest threat to victims, those who continue to offend, and those who commit serious criminal offences are firmly in our sights," he said.
