Dear friends!

Birthday is a time not only to receive congratulations and make grand plans for the future, but also to analyze how the previous year passed and what was achieved.

On the 26th anniversary of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs, I sincerely want to sum up some results, because we all have many reasons to be proud of our University.

For many years, the University has been the flagship of higher education for law enforcement in Ukraine. For decades the opportunity to enter the University is a powerful stimulus for many high school students across the country to study hard and graduate with the highest grades.

Being a cadet of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs is not only prestigious, but also very responsible. The scientific staff of the University, commanders, mentors work to the highest standards and require the same attitude to learning from cadets. This requirement is the highest guarantee that the ranks of the National Police of Ukraine will be annually replenished with initiative, responsible, talented and, most importantly, professional staff who will be worthy of the rank of police officer and protect the rights and freedoms of citizens.

Once again, I would like to remind you that Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs is the only law enforcement agency in Ukraine that trains specialists in the field of cybersecurity. It is very important that the University has not only developed curricula in this field of knowledge, but also has the appropriate material and technical base that provides training for the highest world standards.

Also gratifying is the fact that the University is a leader in training future personnel for the law enforcement system of Ukraine, is actively engaged in research, development of new approaches and methods, which are then introduced in the National Police of Ukraine and allow to solve complex practical problems successfully.

"Serve and protect!" - This philosophy, proposed by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov, starting a project to build a new, modern, one that fully meets the challenges of today's law enforcement system of Ukraine, finds an echo in the heart of every teacher, commander, cadet of our University. This agreement arises due to fruitful cooperation and full understanding between the University and the relevant ministry headed by Arsen Avakov. Every day we are step by step approaching the standards of the most developed democracies in the world!

I sincerely congratulate the entire staff of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs on the 26th anniversary of our home educational institution! I'm sure we will continue to keep such a high level and the greatest achievements are still ahead!

Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Kharkiv

National University of Internal Affairs,
