The National Police of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Націона́льна полі́ція Украї́ни, romanized: Natsionálʹna polítsiya Ukrayíny, IPA:[nɐt͡s⁽ʲ⁾ioˈnɑlʲnɐpoˈl⁽ʲ⁾it͡s⁽ʲ⁾ijɐʊkrɐˈjinɪ]; abbr. НПУ, NPU), often simply referred to as the Politsiia (Поліція, 'Police'), is the national, and only, police service of Ukraine. It was formed on 3 July 2015, as part of the post-Euromaidan reforms launched by Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko, to replace Ukraine's previous national police service, the Militsiya.[4][5] On 7 November 2015, all the remaining militsiya were labelled "temporary acting" members of the National Police.[4]
The agency is overseen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.[6]
