An 18-year-old man was arrested about 8.15pm on Saturday when he became violent after refusing to quit and assaulted an officer.
After striking the officer the man was wrestled to the ground and arrested before being taken to Narromine Police Station and charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, failing to comply and breaching bail for an unrelated issue.
The man appeared in Dubbo Local Court on Sunday and was given bail with conditions. The officer suffered minor facial injuries.
Less than 24 hours earlier police were called to a residence in Fairview Street for reports of an out-of-control party and underage drinking. Police attended and found about 50 to 60 teenagers present.
Officers were abused and bottles were thrown at police. Additional police were called and the crowd was dispersed with no arrests made.
Orana Local Area Command Operation UNITE commander, Gemini Bakos, said the incidents were the only major concerns during the intensive operation.
An additional 21 officers were on duty between 6pm Friday and 6am yesterday when the operation concluded. During that time, police in the city visited 50 licensed premises and issued four people with infringements for failing to comply.
Four people were arrested in Dubbo during the operation but only one was alcohol related.
A total of 323 random breath tests were carried out and just one person was charged with drink driving.
"It's been a successful operation. It's good to see the public has taken the message on board about responsible drinking," Inspector Bakos said. "We had a really good police presence and that was effective. It was good to get around to all the licensed premises and talk to licensees and security personnel."
Across NSW 540 arrests were made and 1062 charges were laid during the operation.
According to NSW Operation commander Gary Worboys, the biggest concern came from the high number of Fail To Quit and common assaults.
More than 40,000 people underwent random breath tests across the state. The operation coincided with the release of a report by the National Alliance for Action on Alcohol (NAAA) that gave NSW just a 31 per cent rating for reducing alcohol-related issues.
NSW was found to meet or exceed the expected standard when it came to drink-driving countermeasures but fell behind in other areas like education and regulating availability.
