The Cabinet of Ministers has introduced an identification token for National Police officers. This was reported by Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko, as conveyed by UNN.
Recently, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine supported initiatives proposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that take into account the challenges of wartime and enhance the safety of police officers and the social protection of their families. In particular, a new element of police uniform has been introduced – an identification token. It will be used during missions in combat zones and frontline communities. The token will indicate the police officer's individual number, blood type, and Rh factor. This will primarily enable faster provision of medical assistance in case of injuries
Klymenko also added that the token will provide an additional means of identifying a police officer in the event of capture or death.
According to the resolution No. 785, the token is made in the shape of a rectangle, with information for identifying the police officer indicated on both sides.
On the front side - the inscriptions "Ukraine" and "National Police", below the perforation line in Arabic numerals - the individual number assigned to the police officer from the special police token.
In Latin letters and Roman numerals - blood type and Rh factor; on the reverse side in Arabic numerals - the individual number assigned to the police officer from the special police token, in Latin letters and Roman numerals - blood type and Rh factor, below the perforation line - the inscriptions "Ukraine" and "National Police".
The token will be made of stainless steel, measuring 45x26 millimeters, 1 millimeter thick, with rounded corners.
The token has a hole with a diameter of 3 millimeters for attaching to a cord (chain) for wearing around the neck. After the police officer is dismissed, the token is kept in their archival personnel file.
