Devon and Cornwall's Assistant Chief Constable has taken to social media to highlight the number of attacks on police officers.
Ten were attacked or abused in the space of just 24 hours at the end of this week.
The assaults included a punch in the face, and being kicked, headbutted and spat at.
Another officer had homophobic abuse directed at them online.
Assistant Chief Constable Jim Colwell has posted on Twitter that he's 'getting sick of this', and that officers are facing this kind of behaviour day in day out as they work to keep their communities safe.
