Description
The Czech police department plans to increase the number of service posts by 3,000 within the next three years, as proposed by the Interior Ministry and approved by the government. The first 500 vacancies should be filled in by the end of 2020.  Territorial police directorates will gain the biggest share of the new position or around 1,754 of them. Around 830 of the new regional police officers will work in the patrolling system so that the police can guarantee professional public service throughout the Czech Republic within ten minutes after an incident report. A further 300 posts will be placed at regional directorates to combat illegal migration.Â
The proposal also includes 750 positions that will be created in the high rang police departments.Â
In summary, the plan envisions 1,000 additional posts each year in the period 2021-2022, while the remaining 500 posts should be created in 2023.
The Czech police force requires around 43,000 posts in total. However, currently, the public body employs around 40,000 police officers. The public police departments have been facing a shortage of workforce for a long while. About 2,800 positions were vacant in 2019. Â

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
