== History == Prior to 3 July 2015, [[law enforcement in Ukraine]] was carried out directly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the ''[[Militsiya (Ukraine)|militsiya]]''. Plans to reform the ministry, which was widely known to be corrupt, had been advocated by various governments and parties, but these plans were never realised.<ref name="RE6JUL"/><ref>{{cite web|title=In Ukraine, they want to create 5 police departments instead of the militsiya|url=http://www.unian.ua/society/737546-v-ukrajini-zamist-militsiji-hochut-zrobiti-5-politsiy.html|agency=[[Ukrainian Independent Information Agency]]|access-date=10 December 2014|language=uk|date=10 January 2013}}</ref>

In the aftermath of the 2013–2014 [[Euromaidan]] movement and [[2014 Ukrainian revolution|subsequent revolution]], the need for reform was acknowledged by all parties. Parliamentary elections were held in [[2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election|October 2014]], after which all five of the parties that formed the [[8th Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada#Coalition|governing coalition]] pledged to reform the ministry and create a new national police service.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Hankevych|first1=Roman|title=Five parties signed the coalition agreement at night|url=http://zaxid.net/news/showNews.do?pyat_partiy_vnochi_pidpisali_koalitsiynu_ugodu&objectId=1330857|publisher=Zahid.net|access-date=9 December 2014|language=uk|date=21 November 2014}}</ref>

In 2024, three additional brigades were added as directly reporting under NPU Headquarters.

== Terminology == According to Professor Oleksandr Ponomariv of the [[Kyiv University]]'s Institute of Journalism, the correct Ukrainian language term for a police officer is 'politsiyant' ''({{lang|uk|поліціянт}})''. This is in contrast to the term 'politseysky' ''({{lang|uk|поліцейський}})'', a loan word from the Russian language, commonly used to refer to an officer of the National Police. [[File:Bicycle police in Lviv.jpg|thumb|Bicycle police in [[Lviv]]]] Ranks are rarely used by the public when addressing police officers in Ukraine; it is more common to hear the term Pan ''({{lang|uk|Пан}})'' (female - Pani ''({{lang|uk|Пані}})'' - Ukrainian for mister/miss - used to refer to police officers. Qualifying terms such as 'ofitser' ''({{lang|uk|офіцер}})'' or 'politseiskyi' ''({{lang|uk|поліцейський}})'' may also be used in conjunction with these forms of address.

== Structure and branches == The National Police is divided into a number of different services. Each force has internal subdivisions. This leaves the police service with a large number of specialised branches which can more specifically target certain types of crime and apply more expert knowledge in the investigation of cases relating to their area of policing. In addition to these specific groups, all police forces retain a majority of officers for the purpose of patrol duty and general law enforcement.

The police contains the following subdivisions:<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160328103155/http://www.npu.gov.ua/uk/publish/article/1855846 National Police structure]. [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Ukraine)]]. 18 March 2016</ref> *Criminal Police '''''({{lang|uk|Кримінальна поліція}})''''' – investigation and prevention of serious and violent [[crime in Ukraine]] **Department in the fight against drug-related crime **Department of Cyber Police '''''({{lang|uk|Кіберполіція, Департамент кіберполіції}})''''' – fighting against cyber crimes **Department of Economic Security *Department of Patrol Police '''''({{lang|uk|Патрульна поліція}})''''' – general law enforcement operations, traffic policing and patrol duty (includes riot police divisions) ** number of municipal administrations *Department of Police Security '''''({{lang|uk|Поліція охорони}})''''' – Successor to the [[State Security Service (Ukraine)|State Security Service]] (nothing to do with the [[State Security Administration (Ukraine)|State Security Administration]])

In addition, the following special units exist: *[[Special Police Forces (Ukraine)|Special Police]] '''''({{lang|uk|Спеціальна поліція}})''''' – Tasked with keeping order in areas with special status and/or affected by natural or ecological disaster. *[[Rapid Operational Response Unit]] (KORD) '''''({{lang|uk|Корпус Оперативно-Раптової Дії}})''''' – Tactical response unit, tasked with resolution of stand-off situations involving hostages and/or heavily armed suspects. Also tasked with providing a tactical support function to other divisional officers. *Pre-trial Investigative Services '''''({{lang|uk|Органи досудового розслідування}})''''' – Representatives of the National Investigative Bureau, Tax Authorities and Security Services, tasked with investigating crime.
