SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens says the vision of an off-duty cop being attacked<\/a> in the Adelaide CBD is \u201cworth people seeing\u201d as he considers appealing the offender\u2019s sentence.<\/h3>\n

Wol Magot Door, 26, was sentenced to 18 months in jail non-parole over the 2015 bashing.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Stevens told FIVEAA Breakfast on Thursday:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe offender has received a custodial sentence — that\u2019s a positive. Whether or not that\u2019s sufficient is something I\u2019m having my prosecution team have a look at and talk to the DPP about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty graphic stuff and I think it\u2019s worth people seeing. This is the sort of stuff police officers have to confront. We have something in the order of 700 or 800 police officers a year are assaulted.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom an operational point of view that takes away about 1,500 days of policing that we have available to us because these police officers are off work as a result of an assault. It\u2019s costing us in the order of $500-600,000 a year. That\u2019s taking a business look at it, but the impact on the individuals is what most concerns me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
