The shooting of an officer with her service pistol by a man who jumped a police station counter highlighted the need for security screens, the NSW Police Association says.
Constable Elizabeth Roth, 34, was shot by a man who snatched her pistol after jumping the counter of Wetherill Park Police Station this morning.
Police Association spokesman Bob Pritchard said the incident demonstrated a need for greater front counter security for police.
"We have certainly said that all police stations should have security screens," he told reporters.
"Over the past couple of years we've had six or seven incidents including samurai swords, people have tried to fire bomb police stations (and) we feel it's only fair that police have the safety that's required so that they get on with the job."
