Operational and Crisis Management within the Police of the Czech Republic
ŠVÉDA, David
This thesis deals with the issue of operational and crisis management within the Police of the Czech Republic. The organizational structure and the staffing of operational centers and emergency management centers is described as closely related to police activities, with emphasis on the responsibility for executing tasks resulting in particular from internal acts of the Police management as the essential component of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS). The issue of emergency calls handling and the related communications between the basic components of the integrated rescue system, particularly between the Police and the Fire and Rescue Service, considering the technological and material and technical equipment of operational centers of the police of the CR is dealt with. The empirical section is focused directly on the "modern" Integrated Operational Centre of Regional Police Headquarters of the Vysočina region where questionnaires are distributed to workers (policemen) of this organizational element of the Police, the object of study is divided into three parts. The first part is focused on the IRS issues, the level of knowledge, orientation in this area and views on cooperation of the IRS components are identified by the questionnaire. The second part is focused on crisis management, the knowledge level of respondents in this area is determined. The third part of the questionnaire is directed entirely to obtain information and knowledge from practice of the staff members involved in special activities. The discussion and conclusion gives information about the progressive development and integration of operational centers, including the possible and most convenient way (system) of operational and crisis management within the Police of the Czech Republic.

Emergency Operators´ Mental Load
HUDEČKOVÁ, Karolína
This bachelor thesis deals with mental strain in dispatchers of medical emergency services. I focused on covering these questions, the follow-up analysis and description, on the basis of research. The first objective was to survey opinions of operations centre dispatchers of the mental strain in their work. The next objective was their opinion of the question whether the number of dispatchers on duty in one shift influences their mental strain. My research is based on questionnaire surveying, and the research object covered 40 employees in operational centres all over the Region of South Bohemia. (Note: a nationwide research would be technically hardly realisable, as it is improbable that the questionnaires sent in would be returned). The introductory chapters contain a brief description of the operations centre and activities that the dispatchers perform every day, and I try to formulate the principles of the correct communication that should be led in the conversation with the callers on the distress line. I also describe general features of stress, the factors that lead to it, and the states breaking out as a result of its long-term effect on people. Specifically in this thesis, I describe post-traumatic stress disorder and the burn-out syndrome, and I also mention prevention to defend oneself against these risk factors. The second part of the thesis focuses on the results of the research conducted by quantitative technique, by handing out 45 questionnaires, 40 of which were processed after they were sent back. The research and results make up an essential part of the thesis and bring proofs of the fact that employees of operations centres undergo mental strain influenced by a number of factors. Some of these factors can be influenced, and becoming aware of these factors, this strain may be at least partially reduced. The thesis also uses the comparative method with the possibility of comparison of the mental strain between individual dispatchers. Last but not least, it contains inspiration for considering these questions, and personal proposals for a positive contribution to lowering this strain and a further development of this problem in general.
