THE number of assaults on police officers in Cambridgeshire looks set to decrease in 2009 compared to the last three years.
Cambridgeshire Police said that from January 1 to December 6 this year there were 279 reported assaults on police officers.
That compares to 321 reported attacks in 2008, 316 reported assaults in 2007 and 303 incidents in 2006.
