During that year, there were 333 reports of domestic violence, which averages to more than six incidents a week.
Inspector Scott Tanner from Orana Local Area Command (LAC) believes the reason behind Dubbo's higher than state average statistics is may be a result of the pro-activeness.
"There has been an increase into the reporting of domestic violence, so even though the incidents do appear higher, sometimes that can be attributed to our pro-activeness." he said.
Inspector Tanner also credits Orana LAC's high arrest rate.
"We have a high arrest rate for domestic violence offenders," he said.
Inspector Tanner said the doubling rates could also be due to the inclusion of other western district populations.
"We draw a lot of the population in from outlining areas, such as Bourke, Walgett," Inspector Tanner said.
Inspector Tanner is adamant the Orana Police Force are doing all they can to help women.
"We have a Staying Home, Leaving Violence program, which has two full-time staff, who interact with repeat victims of domestic violence," he said.
"They help them with counselling, financial assistance strategies to put in place in regards to domestic violence matters."
Orana Local Area Command works together with many other organisations to help support women experiencing domestic violence.
"We also have a full-time Domestic Violence Officer, as well as a Domestic Violence Practitioner, and we work together with other Government agencies," Inspector Tanner said.
In order to help prevent and reduce domestic violence in Dubbo, Inspector Tanner says there are many ways to achieve this.
"I think it is a social thing," he said.
"Perpetrators of domestic violence need to 'man up', and realise that what their doing is not only effecting their life, but the life of future generations."
Inspector Tanner said drugs and alcohol are a major cause of domestic violence.
"We find that a lot of domestic violence matters are drug and alcohol related," he said.
"We need a whole government approach and we need social attitudes to change towards domestic violence."
According to White Ribbon, one woman is killed every week in Australia by a current or former partner, and this is more than likely to occur in the home.
He said these statistics are shocking, but a reality and sadly many women who experience domestic violence feel as if they are to blame, which make it harder for them to leave the abusive relationship.
Inspector Tanner recommends the community can help support sufferers of domestic violence through many simple ways.
"If you know someone that is in a domestic violence relationship, then it needs to be reported, and that can be done anonymously, they also need to be their supporter, not someone who judges victims," he said.
Inspector Tanner acknowledges different cultures backgrounds deal with domestic violence differently, but in the end, domestic violence is a crime.
"At the end of the day, it is a crime, and it is effecting not only their community, but the whole of society," he said.
