The article deals with the fact that religiously motivated terrorism has become more common in Europe, and more than 50% of the attacks have been focused on so-called Soft Targets. The purpose of this paper is to make a risk analysis of a particular Soft Target by the Ministry of the Interior methodology. The Tax Office of the Zlin region was chosen as a Soft Target. Auxiliary tables – Likelihood and Impact are necessary for this methodology. Performing an attack, Place of attack, and Time of attack are very important too. The Degree of Threat is determined as the product of Total Likelihood and Total Impact. Risk analysis shows that the highest risk factor is the possibility of a bomb attack that could happen inside the building during the daily working time. The risk analysis should help to find weaknesses of the soft targets, and the security managers should take precautions to reduce the risk.

This article is focused on security design of selected Soft Targets. For this purpose, the kindergartens were chosen as Soft Targets. One of the reasons for this selection was the fact that some kindergartens were attacked recently. Considering that every kindergarten is unique, the design of security is solved by recommendations form. The recommendations were focused on the combination of three main security categories. Especially the Intruder Alarm System was described in detail.

In this paper, selected polymer banknotes from Great Britain, Hong Kong, Mexico and Russia are investigated. First, a UV lamp is used to visualise fluorescent radiation of the banknotes, and the banknotes are photographed. Subsequently, selected parts of the banknotes are further analysed by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. For each banknote, the part containing the fluorescent dye is compared with the part without the security feature. The results demonstrate the properties of the fluorescent dyes, which are used as a security feature for polymer banknotes. These properties can be further used to detect counterfeits.

The aim of this article is to create a risk analysis of selected school facilities which can be an auxiliary tool of security solutions against terrorism. Most terrorist attacks are focused on so-called soft targets -crowded places, which are not secure against violent attacks. Furthermore, attacks on school facilities abroad are frequent too. A wellprepared risk analysis is a necessary method to detect weaknesses and strengths of the security of a soft target. The university in Zlin in the Czech Republic was chosen as a Soft Target for this research. The paper deals with a risk analysis that was created by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic methodology. The methodology deals with these main variables -Performing an Attack, Place of Attack, Time of Attack, Likelihood, and Impact. The result of the risk analysis is a degree of threat which shows a possible risk of the university. The risk analysis shows that the highest value of the degree of threat represents shooting inside university during the daily working time. On the other hand, the minimum value of the degree of threat represents shooting in front of the university during the event of invited. In keeping with the weaknesses which represents the value of the degree of threat under the acceptable risk level, we should protect the soft target as well as possible. Due to the protection of the specific weaknesses should be soft targets safer. This methodology is one of the ways how to prepare a risk analysis of a soft target.

The article deals with the issue of protection of places with a large concentration of people with a focus on the metro system in the Czech Republic and worldwide. The following sections are devoted to the comparison of metro systems in the world, the use of the metro as an object of civil protection, including food, water, air, energy, etc. Furthermore, the text deals with the list and description of real incidents that have occurred or may occur in the metro, such as fires, floods, terrorist attacks, etc., including security measures and emergency services exercises.
