Wairarapa police officers are being attacked at a rate of more than once a fortnight, according to information released by New Zealand Police.
Police recorded 296 "assaults police" offences in Wairarapa between 2004 and 2014.
Fifty-two of the assaults resulted in injury.
Wairarapa Acting Area Commander Senior Sergeant Mike Sutton said any assault on staff was unacceptable.
"The numbers are higher than we would like because, of course, we'd like there to be zero," he said.
