Government statistics say 574 Merseyside Police officers were assaulted on duty between 2010 and 2015, with 124 attacks recorded in the 2014/15 financial year.
Top cops say the figures highlight the dangers faced by Merseyside Police everyday, while the Police Federation has called for changes to the law to offer all public servants better protection.
But, hang on a minute. If there are approximately 6000 Merseyside Police Officers, and the figures are over five years.
Then this works out as 120 per year. 120 out of 6000 is only 2%. So, 2% of Officers are injured every year whilst on duty.
Or in other words 98% of Merseyside Police Officers are NOT injured whilst on duty every year.
So, in reality, statistics show, that Merseyside is relatively a safe place for Police Officers to work.
