This article analyses reform of the Police of the Czech Republic undertaken at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Its aim was to increase the efficiency of the Police to suit new social conditions. The article analyses the evolution of the reform, the structural and institutional transformations to the Police, and the related establishment of an additional security body (the General Inspection of Security Corps). The authors ascertain that despite a number of important changes being carried out, the reform failed to provide a unified strategic approach to Police activities.
