Dnipro-1 Regiment

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.

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.
