Six police officers have been charged with criminal offences in the past week across NSW, with a total of 11 officers charged in April.
The run of charges began at 3am on Good Friday when an off-duty constable on a motorcycle allegedly ran a red traffic light.
He allegedly led police on a pursuit through the streets of Eastwood in Sydney that reached speeds of 120km/h in a 50km/h zone.
Police stopped him on a pedestrian lane way in the neighbouring suburb of Denistone and arrested him. He was later charged with two counts of failing to stop at a red light and one count of initiating a police pursuit, under Skye's Law.
On the same day, police laid extra charges against a Port Macquarie policewoman, accused her of assaulting and resisting a police officer during the execution of their duties.
Senior Constable Kylie Anne Williams has since pleaded guilty to a mid-range drink-driving charge but has yet to enter a plea to the other charges relating to the same night.
The 38-year-old mother was caught drink driving on Byng Street in Orange about 10:30pm on March 24 and allegedly assaulted and resisted a police officer.
Her case has been adjourned for mention in June.
On Thursday, a male probationary constable was charged with stalking and intimidating in the Hunter region. The day before, a male senior constable officer was charged with urinating on a fence near a busy intersection in Sydney's south.
A male senior constable was charged on April 17 with the aggravated rape of a 10-year-old girl. The 40-year-old was given a court attendance notice at work and remains free on bail until his court appearance at Goulburn Local Court in June.
A NSW Police media spokesman said it was always a concern when a police officer was charged with criminal offences.
"No police officer is exempt from the law,'' he said. "The fact that officers are charged and put before the courts is an indication NSW Police officers are not above the law.
"Further, the NSW Police Force issues a media release whenever an officer is to be put before the courts, in the interests of transparency. Officers who lose the commissioner's confidence are dismissed from the organisation."
