"Everyone deserves to be safe and feel safe and live free from the threat or experience of domestic and family violence and we want victim-survivors to know that police will not tolerate this type of unacceptable offending, and there is support available for anyone experiencing domestic and family violence," Inspector Clayton said.
"If you need to talk to someone, you can visit a station which have DFV safe rooms or quiet spaces, or you can make a report online.
"Anyone who thinks they're above the law and commits these offences should know it doesn't matter what corner of the state you live in, we will ensure you are brought before a court and held accountable."
Operation Xray Poll will continue through the District.
