Police Deputy Commissioner Mal Lanyon told reporters more than half of the state's murders are domestic violence-related, and the most dangerous DV offences often display the violence of organised crime figures and the fixation of terrorists.
"NSW Police won't tolerate it. We will put you before the court (and) we have made it clear there is no place for family and domestic violence offending," he said on Sunday.
On average, NSW Police receive a domestic-violence-related call every four minutes and deals with 90 DV-related assaults every day.
