What participants will learn

The theater auditorium as an example of a soft target

A soft target in practice

Practical output

The outcome depends on the decisions of the people inside the building.

Methodology MV ČR we convert to a specific operation. A hospital reception needs a different procedure than a theatre, library or sports ground.

01

Soft target definition and threat typology

What the MV ČR methodology considers a soft target. Attack types (armed attacker, vehicle, IED, secondary attack) and attacker types (instrumental, expressive, psychotic).

02

Risk assessment of the own object

Participants will practically assess their own organization: entrances, internal zones, evacuation routes and collection points. We will prepare scenarios according to the type of operation.

03

Staff as the first line

Reception, security and other frontline staff: how to recognize a threat, de-escalate, report an incident and work with management. We don't expect heroism, we rehearse a structured response.

04

Communicating under pressure and with IZS

What the Police of the Czech Republic and HZS need to know in the first minutes. Structured reporting by phone, transfer of identification data and taking over communication by a professional negotiator.

05

Crisis model situation

A safe model situation with extras in your building. Three rounds, analysis after each. No mock attacks and no pressure on the participants: we practice decision-making.

06

Documentation and follow-up after an incident

Safety plan, coordination plan with IZS and incident records. After-Action Review and crisis communication with staff, clients and the media.

Frequently asked questions

What is a soft target?

A soft target is a publicly accessible object with a high concentration of people and a low level of technical security. These are typically schools, hospitals, theaters, libraries, social services, offices and sports grounds. The security of these places depends mainly on people and procedures, not on physical barriers.

Jaký je rozdíl oproti programu Aktivní útočník?

Aktivní útočník je jeden konkrétní typ hrozby. Ochrana měkkých cílů je širší a zahrnuje i sekundární útoky, krizovou komunikaci, dokumentaci, koordinaci s IZS a kontinuitu provozu. Doporučujeme začít ochranou měkkých cílů a pro personál první linie ji doplnit programem Aktivní útočník.

What references do you have in this area?

Pro Český rozhlas jsme zpracovali analýzu ohroženosti měkkého cíle, pro Národní divadlo bezpečnostní posouzení a pro kancelář veřejného ochránce práv audit a přípravu personálu. Další reference chráněné dohodou o mlčenlivosti (NDA) sdělíme na vyžádání.

Pro jaké organizace je program vhodný?

For any organization that meets the definition of a soft target. It will help the institutions with the first line (reception, security, health workers) and management responsible for crisis preparedness the most. Smaller organizations need 1 day, larger institutions usually need a 2-day program.

Kolik program stojí?

From CZK 79,000 (1 day, up to 20 people). We calculate multi-day programs and programs for institutions with multiple objects individually.
