A spokesperson for Castlereagh Local Area Command said domestic and family violence was a crime that took many forms.
"Emotional and psychological abuse, intimidation, harassment, stalking, physical and sexual assault and can include animal abuse targeting pets and damaging personal or joint property," he said.
"Children living in a relationship with abusive behaviour are considered to be at risk of harm, either directly by being abused or indirectly by witnessing the abuse of the parent or carer.
"The NSW Police Force will respond to all reports of domestic and family violence and pursue the perpetrators to hold them accountable for their criminal behaviour under NSW law, by placing them before the courts."
