FAQ: Public Safety in Czech Republic
How is public safety organised in the Czech Republic?
Public safety in the Czech Republic is coordinated under the Ministry of the Interior (Ministerstvo vnitra — MV ČR). The Policie České republiky (Police of the Czech Republic) is the national police force, organised across 14 Krajská ředitelství policie (regional police directorates) plus the Policejní prezidium (Police Presidium) as the national headquarters. Fire services are the Hasičský záchranný sbor ČR (HZS ČR — Fire Rescue Service), organised in 14 krajských HZS (regional fire brigades) under the Generální ředitelství HZS ČR. Ambulance services are managed by the Zdravotnická záchranná služba (ZZS) in each region — 14 in total — under Ministry of Health oversight. The emergency coordination system is the Integrovaný záchranný systém (IZS — Integrated Rescue System), coordinating police, fire, and ambulance. The Bezpečnostní informační služba (BIS) is the domestic intelligence service. Emergency numbers are 112 (unified European), 150 (fire), 155 (ambulance), and 158 (police).
How does emergency dispatch work in the Czech Republic? What is PEGAS?
The Czech Republic operates emergency dispatch through Krajská operační střediska (KOS — regional dispatch centres), one per region, managing 112 calls and coordinating IZS dispatch (police-fire-ambulance). Police dispatch centres are the Operační střediska Policie ČR in each region. Fire brigades have their own Krajská operační střediska HZS. The digital radiocommunications network for emergency services is PEGAS (Plně integrovaný a Elektronicky Garantovaný komunikační Systém — Fully Integrated and Electronically Guaranteed Communication System), the national TETRA network of the Czech Republic, operated under Ministry of Interior mandate. PEGAS connects police, fire brigades, ambulances, and other security services across the entire national territory with secure encrypted digital communications. The Czech Republic is evaluating PEGAS evolution towards 4G/5G broadband to complement TETRA coverage in dense urban areas and high-data-volume situations.
What is the data protection framework for public safety software in the Czech Republic?
The Czech Republic implemented EU GDPR through the Personal Data Processing Act (zákon č. 110/2019 Sb. — o zpracování osobních údajů), updating the previous legal framework. The supervisory authority is the Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (ÚOOÚ — Office for Personal Data Protection). Police systems are additionally subject to zákon č. 273/2008 Sb. (Police Act) and specific regulations on data processing by security forces. The IZS Act (zákon č. 239/2000 Sb.) establishes the emergency coordination framework. Biometric data in police surveillance systems requires mandatory Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) under GDPR. The EU Law Enforcement Directive (2016/680) was implemented in Czech law, separating police data processing from general GDPR. Data sharing between IZS systems requires data exchange agreements compliant with ÚOOÚ.
How is public safety software procured in the Czech Republic?
Czech public procurement is governed by the Public Procurement Act (zákon č. 134/2016 Sb. — o zadávání veřejných zakázek), implementing EU directives. The Národní elektronický nástroj (NEN) is the Czech government's e-procurement platform, where federal tenders are published. The ISVZ portal (Public Procurement Information System) is the contracts register. The Ministry of the Interior directly procures Policie ČR and HZS ČR systems at national level. The 14 regions have autonomy in procuring ZZS systems and some regional HZS systems. Contracts above EU thresholds appear on TED/OJEU. The Czech digital transformation programme (Digitální Česko) drives modernisation of public safety ICT systems. EU Structural Funds (Regional Operational Programmes) co-finance IZS dispatch centre modernisation across regions.
What are the cybersecurity requirements for public safety software in the Czech Republic?
Cybersecurity in the Czech Republic is regulated by the Cybersecurity Act (zákon č. 181/2014 Sb. — o kybernetické bezpečnosti) and its updated version transposing NIS2 (zákon č. 60/2024 Sb.). The NÚKIB (Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost — National Office for Cyber and Information Security) is the national cybersecurity authority, equivalent to the French ANSSI or German BSI. NÚKIB publishes security requirements for critical infrastructure and significant information systems (ISVS). Policie ČR and HZS ČR systems are classified as critical infrastructure and must comply with NÚKIB standards. GovCERT.cz (operated by NÚKIB) handles incident response for the government sector. The 2024 cybersecurity act expanded the scope of regulated operators following the NIS2 Directive, with incident notification requirements and security audits.
What Smart City and public safety digitalisation projects exist in the Czech Republic?
The Czech Republic drives public safety digitalisation through several key projects. The Chytrá policie (Smart Police) project of MV ČR modernises Policie ČR incident management systems with ISKP (Crisis Planning Information System). Prague (Praha) has the Smart Prague programme integrating urban cameras, TRAFIS traffic management, and command centres for Policie Praha and Městská policie Praha. Brno, Ostrava, and Plzeň have Smart City programmes with camera, traffic sensor, and ANPR integration. The AMDS system manages infrastructure surveillance. GovCERT.cz supports intelligence analysis. The e-Government czechpoint project modernises digital administrative systems. Krajský operační programs (Regional Operational Programmes) drive IZS dispatch centre modernisation in all regions with EU funding.
