Norfolk Police paid £2.2 million in compensation to 139 officers harmed on duty, including claims involving physical and psychological injuries.
Norfolk Police paid £2.2 million in compensation to 139 officers who suffered physical or psychological harm while carrying out their duties last year.
Figures released following a Freedom of Information request show claims covered a wide range of injuries and conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
Six payouts related to cases classed as involving very severe injuries, which can prevent an officer from returning to policing.
The figures also show Norfolk Police has paid a total of £11.6 million in compensation to injured officers over the past six years.
Concerns have been raised about the increasing pressures faced by frontline officers.
The number of assaults on Norfolk officers has risen significantly in recent years, while increasing numbers have also required time away from work because of mental health difficulties.
Norfolk Police Federation chairman Andy Symonds says officers are increasingly working in complex and unpredictable situations where there can be a significant risk of assault or injury.
Norfolk Constabulary says the safety and wellbeing of its workforce remains a priority.
The force says it regularly reviews safety measures and continues to look at ways of improving training and equipment to better protect officers while they carry out their duties.
