It is an offence to discharge a firearm intending to hit a police officer or being reckless as to whether a police officer is hit [Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935 (SA) s 29A]. The maximum penalty is imprisonment for 10 years.
If the offender causes serious harm to a police officer, an offence against s 29A can result in a term of imprisonment of up to 25 years or even more if the Director of Public Prosecutions submits to the court that a higher penalty is warranted [s 29A(1) and (2)].
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
