On 4 July Ukraine celebrates National Police Day. It honours patrol officers, investigators, community police, dog handlers and everyone who keeps public order and people safe every day — and, during the war, also works in liberated territories and under shelling. Below are short National Police Day wishes, messages for colleagues and family, official texts, funny wishes and poems. Other professional dates for the year are in our calendar of professional holidays in Ukraine.

Other professional days for those who protect us: Rescuers Day wishes, Defenders Day wishes and Medical Workers Day wishes.

How to celebrate with the team

• Thanks and certificates — recognise everyone's contribution, even with a few words at a team meeting.
• Morning flowers for the office — a bouquet for the team or small arrangements on each desk set a festive mood.
• A team photo — take a group picture to hang in the office or post on the website.
• A wishes board — everyone leaves a few kind words for colleagues on sticky notes.
• An informal get-together — lunch, a picnic or a board-game evening after work.

What to write on a card with flowers

• Happy birthday! May this bouquet remind you how many people love you.
• For the best moments of the year — flowers, sincere words and hugs.
• May every day be as bright as this bouquet.
• Happy birthday! Wishing you health, peace and joy in the little things.

Sign the card by hand: even two lines in your handwriting mean more than a long printed message.

Police Day poems

You stand on guard by day and night,
In summer heat and winter snow,
May fortune keep you safe and right
And peace go with you where you go!

Happy Police Day, brave and true,
Peace and strength we wish to you,
May your service be secure
And your path be safe and sure!

Gifts for police officers

Flowers for fellow officers, sweets for tea during a shift or a fruit basket are a lovely way to say thank you for their service.
