The theoretical part defines the basic concepts important for the domain of the active shooter and then the psychological analysis of the active shooter himself. A separate chapter discusses the last largest attack of an active shooter in the Czech Republic, which took place at the University Hospital Ostrava. I dwell on the polemic of a legally held weapon and its influence in defense. In the next chapters, I focus on the readiness of the Police of the Czech Republic, especially on the first-line patrols, and finally on the actual intervention of the IRS units at the scene of the active shooter's attack. To achieve the above - mentioned goals, two research questions were compiled, which were answered by means of a questionnaire survey.

MATOUŠEK, Michal
The main purpose of the thesis is the improvement of safety against an active shooter in schools and school facilities. The issue of this kind of terrorism is being a phenomenon in the present and it is very hard to predict the particular moment of the act itself. It is crucial to set protective borders to prevent this problem. These borders can effectively defect the undesirable attacks of the shooters and protect the students' and school employees' lives. The goal of the thesis is to find out the safety measures against the active shooter taken in the chosen high schools and afterwards to suggest the better securing. The particular legislation for the issue, concept of terrorism, educational system and the security system in the Czech Republic is expounded to the reader in the theoretical part. I am focused on the selected active shooter attacks, which were made in Europe and in the Czech Republic at the end. The practical part introduces the methods of collecting data for the qualitative research and also the means of investigation that were used. The research discovered the means of safety measures for the inner room, which were taken in the particular high schools against this kind of the terrorism. The following safety analysis discovered the fact that the schools are not properly secured against the active shooter. Therefore the more effective securing is proposed in the form of recommendations. The inseparable part for the goal achievement is the share this information with the school management. Moreover the school management had the possibility to request the research data and apply the proposals in the schools. There is a summary of the discovered reality and a proposal for improvement the securing in conclusion.

Radiness of primary schools for an armed attack in the town of Benešov.
KÁROVÁ, Natálie
My diploma thesis deals with the preparedness of primary schools for an armed attack in the city of Benešov. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part contains information that I have processed from available literature, professional websites and professional joutnals. The aim of the work was to analyze the preparedness of primary schools in the city of Benešov within the project "Armed attacker at school". In my work I also focused on the USB strategy and analyzed specific situations that may occur in the school environment. The theoretical part contains information about the structure of the education system, the rights and obligations of students and legal representatives of minors. In my work I also focused on who is a mass and serial killer or what is the amok syndrome and who is an active shooter. The last chapter of my work is the area of police psychology. In the practical part is the data that I processed from the planned external audit within the project "Armed attacker at school". The audit at three primary schools in the city of Benešov took place in 2019 and focused on various branches of education. My results show that the first of the primary schools examined is at a very poor level of safety and its founder or school management should take immediate remedial action. The second and third schools are at a good safety level. If the connection of pupils with the public at lunch time is resolved, it can be said that these schools are at a very good level of safety. The results from the practical part can serve as feedback for the city of Benešov, as well as for the staff of the studied primary schools.

MOUTELÍK, Jaromír
This bachelor thesis on the topic "Active shooter attack from the perspective of providers of emergency medical services" is made up from a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, we characterized the active shooter, mapped the situation as how it is abroad and here in the Czech Republic. We described types of gunshotwounds (shootinginjury) and the specific way how they have to betreated (pre-hospital and hospital emergency care).The AMOK situation and all the rescue activities were described in a thematic practical exercises. The aim of the research part was to determine the level of knowledge in nursing care in pre-hospital and hospital emergency from the perspective of medical rescuers, how they are familiar with the problem of active shooter, and how rescue workers are willing to deal with this issue. The semi-structured interview method was used to obtain the data for the empirical part of this bachelor thesis. Respondents were randomly choosed and they were asked by 21 questions to find out how are they prepered for the active shooter situation, treatment of the gunshotwound, how are they educated for this topic and willing to strike out for the situation. Results showed, that all the rescue workers have an overview in all the trends of gunshotwounds and their treatment. On the other hand, the majority of them (6/8) have everattend any educational event or practical exercise and have not consider this education to be sufficient, but all of them would welcome a practical training with the police. Most of these rescuers (5/8) would not refuse to go to such a case and they would take it as an interesting experience.

Readiness of educational institutions for extraordinary event - attack of an active shooter.
MACHÁČEK, Josef
The aim of this work is to deal as fully as possible with the issue of ensuring the readiness of pupils, students, teachers and other pedagogical or non-pedagogical staff to pose a threat of attack by an active assailant in schools and school facilities. In order to achieve this, personal knowledge of the given issue, elaborated case studies, adopted legislation and methodological analysis of the questionnaires on the topic will be used. Attention is paid to all areas that may affect the behavior of people who find themselves in similar situations where the primary objective is to minimize the number of victims of such an attack. I progress here from the field of prevention, which includes a wide range of measures, from passive, solving questions of unauthorized access to schools, their authorization and identification, through education of pedagogic and non-pedagogical personnel in the field of the ability to solve unexpected and extraordinary situations to the personal readiness of all persons, moving in schools that can positively affect the situation caused by the activity of the active invader. I am personally involved in the issue in my entire career in the armed and security corps of the Czech Republic, as well as in my current position as the Chief Security Manager of a public institution. At present I am personally involved in the activities of the City of Prague, aiming at increasing the awareness of teachers and other school staff about the possibilities of preventive security measures in the field of emergency situations, with a primary focus on behavior in case of a conflict with the participation of an active striker. So I can continuously monitor the teachers' reactions to the lectured substance, use their feedback to further improve the education process in this area, and, last but not least, influence the composition of teaching materials. This work should be beneficial to the scientific community and to the professional public by its complexity and consistency in the knowledge of the topic, collected in one publication, and can contribute to the creation of further legislative procedures created by state administration bodies.

Using firearms in extraordinary situations
HLINOVSKÝ, Jakub
This Bachelor thesis is focused on incidents of firearms using. It points out at the necessity of preparedness of the Integrated Rescue System for active shooter attack with the using of firearms. Extremely insidious behavior of the offender is for the Integrated Rescue System very difficult and demanding. The main objective of this thesis is theoretically and empirically map the issue of incidents with using of firearms. Availability of literature on the issue was limited althought the subject is attractive to the media. The theoretical part is defined the theoretical background and basic concepts incidents with the using of firearms. I also follow up illegal arming, acquisition, ownership, possession and carrying of weapons or ammunition. I was defining the conditions for obtaining a gun license and permission to use guns. Next I attended to the legitimate using of firearms by the citizens and the Czech Police. I also point out specific incidents related to firearms in the Czech Republic and abroad. It illustrates the topicality of the theme. In the last part I describe the psychological characteristics of the active shooter. The practical part consists of empirical quantitative research. Its main objective was descriptively chart the trend of emergencies with the using of firearms in the Czech Republic. Police Presidium of the Czech Rep in the first phase of the negotiations agreed with the implementation of the research term within 10 years. Subsequently Police Presidium gave only detailed data for analysis in the timeframe of 3 years (i.e. 2012 2014). There are also formulated four research questions. For the method I opted - content analysis of the text twhich I realized in a quantitative way. By defining a core set of texts I have analyzed official documents official statistics of the Police Presidium of the Czech Rep, Department of Computer Science and Information Technology Operation, and documents internal regulations and guidelines of the Police of the Czech Rep. I worked with two files: the basic (ie. Total), and a sample. In my investigation I used a variaty of choice a deliberate choice. The basic set is the set of all 82 territorial departments of the Police of the Czech Republic. The selection included a total of two local unions: one from South Bohemia - Czech Budejovice and the other from Central Bohemia Pribram. Sample size influenced the number of variables interest. With regard to the size of the universe and the amount of collected data, I prefered the time of the expected 10 years to 3 years. Quantification sense units investigated their frequency, i.e. the absolute number (ni), the relative number (FI%) and diameter. Based on our investigation there were confirmed two research questions and two negative results. The survey confirmed the differences in the Framework, development trend, the nature and frequency of incidents with using a firearm in selected locations of Regional Department Pribram and Czech Budejovice. In Czech Budejovice, the number of attacks has increased, but in smaller numbers to the commission of using a firearm. In Pribram, on average, for more than half of the attacks is used a firearm. The survey confirmed the compliance framework dominating the category of the crime robbery, where there is more than half of all incidents at that reason. In the using of type of weapon by the perpetrator, it was found that the most commonly used short firearms are pistols and revolvers. Finally, I summarize my whole work, evaluate results and recommend some solutions and methods of preparation and I also explain why it is important to address this issue and to prepare citizens and members of the basic components of the IRS to prevent incidents and solutions. Good preparedness can help professionals to overcome these situations both in personal as well as professional life. Prevention and preparedness are fundamental to successful fighting such serious situations.
