Northern Territory police officer, 46, to face court over charges of assault, making a threat to kill

A Northern Territory police officer is due to front court after being charged with assault, making a threat to kill and other offences.

NT Police said in a statement the 46-year-old woman had been served with a summons to appear in court over the alleged offending. 

She faces charges of unlawful entry, trespass, assault, make a threat to kill and disorderly behaviour. 

NT Police said the woman remained a serving police officer, but it was unclear if she remained in her regular duties. 

The NT Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has been notified, as well as the NT Ombudsman, according to NT Police. 

This is the second police officer to be charged this month, with a 54-year-old male officer served with a summons on January 5 to face three counts of driving at a dangerous speed. 

Both officers are expected to face the Darwin Local Court on February 15.
