NSW Police have 17 charged people following an intelligence-led operation targeting outstanding offenders with a history of domestic violence.
The Domestic and Family Violence Command established Operation DFVC Surge 2026 to deploy all available police resources to locate and arrest offenders wanted on outstanding warrants, conduct bail and apprehended domestic violence order compliance checks and to prevent serious violent offending.
On Thursday 25 June 2026, officers from the Domestic and Family Violence Command led a coordinated operation across the North West Metropolitan Region.
Officers from every Police Area Command in the region took part, and the operation was supported by specialist officers from the Domestic Violence High Risk Offenders Team, Raptor Squad, State Operations & Emergency Management Command and Traffic and Highway Patrol Command.
During the operation, 17 people were arrested and charged with 24 offences.
Police conducted 418 Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) compliance checks, with six breaches identified, and 75 bail compliance checks.
Officers conducted three Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) searches on offenders with significant domestic violence history and alleged links to outlaw motorcycle gangs.
Operation DFVC Surge 2026 was conducted in the Central and South West Metropolitan Regions earlier this year, with 66 offenders arrested and charged for a range of serious domestic violence offences.
Police conducted 595 ADVO compliance checks conducted, 266 bail compliance checks and FPOs were executed.
Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism, Yasmin Catley said domestic violence was a serious crime, and alleged perpetrators should know police were coming.
"This operation was about targeting the worst offenders - those wanted on warrants, breaching orders, ignoring bail and putting victims at risk," Minister Catley said.
"There is no excuse, no hiding place and no tolerance for this violence.
"We will keep backing NSW Police to track offenders down, put them before the courts and protect victim-survivors."
Capability, Performance and Youth Command Assistant Commissioner Jason Weinstein said police were committed to removing dangerous people from our communities.
"This operation focuses on tightening the pressure on perpetrators who have a history of committing serious domestic violence offences," Assistant Commissioner Weinstein said.
"This is another way police are stepping in early to prevent further harm to victims.
"This operation brings our intelligence and resources together in a flexible, coordinated way, allowing police to quickly identify emerging threats in domestic violence offending to respond before they escalate.
"By combining specialist units and frontline capability, we're able to intervene earlier, target high-risk individuals and prevent further harm in our communities."
Operation DFVC Surge will be conducted in the western region in July.
