On Sunday, July 4, Ukraine celebrates National Police Day. On this day, the National Police turns 6 years old.

In the fall of 2014, the concept of reforming the Ministry of Internal Affairs was presented, which provided for the creation of the National Police instead of the police..

On July 2, 2015, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law " And on July 4, the first state of the National Police took the oath of office on Sophia Square in Kiev. Patrol officers became the first employees of the new law enforcement agency.

For about a month, the National Police worked in test mode. The second city in which the police took to the streets was Lviv, and the third - Odessa.
