Regiment Dnipro-1 is a unit of Special Tasks Patrol Police created in April 2014 and was the first volunteer unit formed under the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2014. Originally formed as a battalion, the unit was accused several times of being a private army of Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoyskyi, who financially supported the battalion until 2017. On September 23, 2014, the battalion was reformed into a regiment.
On December 17, 2022, the Minister of Internal Affairs presented state awards to Ukrainian policemen. Members of Dnipro-1 regiment were among them.
In December 2023, it became known that Dnipro-1 Regiment joined Lyut Assault Brigade.
In 2024 it was reformed into a Fire Support Regiment.
