A 24-year-old man is due in the Whangarei District Court today, after allegedly shooting at officers during a pursuit in the city.
It follows an incident near Kerikeri last month, when a gunman shot at a police car, shattering the windshield.
Police Association President Chris Cahill says it's creating nervousness.
He says officers' wives, husbands, partners and children are all concerned over the risks their loved one faces at work.
