The offence of assaulting a peace officer is classified under “Offences Against the Person and Reputation” in the Code. Similar to the offence of common assault, assaulting a peace officer charges do not require serious injury to be inflicted. The law treats assaults against peace officers differently than assaults against ordinary citizens. In most cases, the penalties are harsher, and the circumstances under which an assault can be committed are more narrow. If you are convicted of assaulting a police officer, you can face up to 10 years of jail time.
