Neil Mennie, Chairman of Kent Police Federation, said: "I would like to see stiffer sentences by the court for when people assault police officers.

"Hopefully this will increase the deterrent effect that so far has not been seen in the way we would like... however the Protect The Protectors law - which is now a year old - is a step in the right direction.

"Our Chief Constable provides victim impact statements for our officers in Kent when they are assaulted on duty and this is important.

"It’s about continuing to protect all emergency workers as they do some of society’s most important roles to serve the public."
