Do police officers have a Workman's Comp insurance plan where you live?

There have been at least two injured police officers recently who have posted on GO FUND ME website for donations to help cover medical costs because they were hit by gunshots while working. Don't the cities where they work have to cover them with Workman's Comp insurance? I thought it was a law.

YES - NSW workers compensation system

The State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) is the government organisation responsible for regulating and administering the NSW workers compensation system and is also the regulator for workplace health and safety in NSW. BLAME the Politicians & UNIONS

I have to wonder if the rates are so high for law enforcement officers that some of the smaller towns are not getting it...both of these officers worked for very small towns.
