Integrované bezpečnostní centrum, Emergency call and dispatch centre in Moravská Ostrava, Czech Republic
The Integrated Security Center is the regional operations center for the Moravian-Silesian Region's emergency lines 150, 155, 156, 158 and 112, located in the Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz district of Ostrava near the City Hospital Ostrava. It opened in January 2011 and houses 31 dispatch workstations: eight for the regional fire brigade, ten for the medical rescue service, ten for the Police of the Czech Republic and three for the Ostrava city police.
The center opened in January 2011, merging 15 separate dispatch centers of the integrated rescue system across the Moravian-Silesian Region. Before this, only Ostrava had a unified emergency call center; other districts operated their own dispatches. The project cost 679 million CZK, with 92% covered by the European Union.
The facility represents the evolution of Czech emergency services, integrating multiple response teams under one roof to serve 1.26 million regional inhabitants.
The building is visible from the outside but not open to the public, as it operates as a highly secure administrative facility. Visitors can observe the modern architecture from the street, but entry is restricted to authorized personnel.
Of the 679 million crowns the centre cost, 92 percent came from the European Union, with the Ministry of the Interior, the Moravian-Silesian Region and the city of Ostrava covering the rest. It is the only centre in the Czech Republic that answers calls from all emergency lines, 150, 155, 156, 158 and 112.
