Městská policie Brno

What Městská policie Brno does

Městská policie Brno is the municipal police force of Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, operating under the authority of the Statutory City of Brno pursuant to Czech Law No. 553/1991 Coll. The organization was established in its modern form in 1990 and employs approximately 175 staff across nine district patrol stations (Bystrc, Tábor, Pole, Sever, Východ, Jih, Střed, Západ) plus a central headquarters at Štefánikova 112/43 in Brno. Its statutory mandate covers public order, traffic control, speed measurement, and enforcement of municipal ordinances, delivered through a 156 emergency line, walk-in district stations, and an online portal.

Beyond traditional policing, the force operates an unusual portfolio of adjacent civic services. These include the Útulek animal shelter with adoption and public volunteer programs; a Prevention division with dedicated programs for seniors (the award-winning Senior akademie), children and youth, people with disabilities, and the general public; a traffic education facility at Dopravní hřiště Riviéra; a municipal camera surveillance system (Kamerový systém); and a citizen-facing podcast called Švestky valí pecky. These non-core services reflect an institutional positioning around community-based prevention as well as enforcement.

The entity is funded entirely through the municipal budget of the Statutory City of Brno and provides all services free of charge to citizens. It is registered under IČO 44992785 and operates as a příspěvková organizace (budget-funded organization) with no commercial revenue, no private shareholders, and no subsidiaries. Strategic positioning has been reinforced by the 2016 European Crime Prevention Award (ECPA), the first ever awarded to a Czech project, plus recognition by the UN and the Czech Ministry of the Interior for the Senior akademie program.
