Kyiv Police
The Main Department of National Police of the city of Kyiv () was a police force established in 1858 in Kyiv as the Kyiv Municipal Police (Київська міська поліція). It was the largest municipal police force in Ukraine, with primary responsibilities in law enforcement and investigation in Ukrainian capital. The Kyiv Police was one of the oldest police departments in Ukraine. Its headquarters were located at Volodymyr Street 15 in Kyiv.

The Kyiv Police is part of the National Police of Ukraine; the police is also subordinate to the Kyiv government. Their main responsibilities were internal security, human rights and freedoms, suppression and detection of crime, and protection of public order.

The police is headed by the chief, who is appointed and removed from office by Presidential decree on the recommendation of the Minister of Internal Affairs. Before he suggests a nomination, the president consults the mayor of Kyiv. The police is overseen by the MVS and the government of Kyiv.
