Following an investigation, the 48-year-old woman, a senior constable attached to a command in the Northern Region, was arrested at Belmont Police Station about 11.30am on Tuesday.
She was charged with wound person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and reckless wounding (DV).
The charges relate to an alleged domestic-related incident involving a 45-year-old man at a Newcastle home on July 27.
She was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Newcastle Local Court on Thursday 24 September.
The officer is currently on long term leave.
