The Brno Constable Fiala covered the back of Queen Elizabeth II.
“I almost didn’t get to the guards. I didn’t have the weight needed, “ recalls today with a smile the year 1990, when the city police in Brno gradually began to take shape. “The director’s secretary interceded for me and saw how disappointed I was,” he admitted.
The scavengers were a problem
“At first we didn’t have weapons or uniforms. Later, at least the first uniforms with sleeved bellows came. And since the law came into force in January 1992, our equipment and armament began to take on a more concrete form, “he recalled at the time.
One of the first tasks was to get the so-called shellfish out of the city. “On the footbridge to the bus station, trusting people fraudulently played for a lot of money. They were well organized and it was not easy to catch them in the act. “ Fiala admitted.
He was at the division of the republic
Shortly afterwards, Fiala also opted for security measures during the meeting of Václav Klaus and Vladimír Mečiar, when they divided Czechoslovakia in 1992 in the Tugendhat hall. “It simply came to our notice then. People were rather sad about it. “ he explained.
When the British Queen Elizabeth II met in Brno in 1996. with President Vaclav Havel, Fiala was there again. “At that time, we were in charge of securing security measures in the New Town Hall building, and a little bit like taking care of the then mayor, Lastovecká. It was challenging but interesting, “ he added.
He introduced the registration of bicycles
The violets’ sense of organization stood out in 2009. In the apartment building in Koniklecová Street, which did not have a good reputation, we, together with the city district, implemented a number of measures that, after a year of operation, made tenants coexisting in 156 apartments unbearable and safe. For example, there was a caretaker in the house who controlled who was entering, and the residents had special chips. The project has won several national and foreign awards.
In 1994, Fiala enforced the register of bicycles and thus try to increase the success in the search for stolen bicycles. “The interest from the public was considerable in Brno. Thousands of people registered almost immediately. However, the national database was never created, so the project lost its meaning and we canceled the evidence in Brno, “ he explained.
Luboslav Fiala is also the “father” of the Senior Academy. “It is a two-year study program. We educate seniors in the field of crime prevention, fires, traffic accidents, as well as many other psychological, social, legal or technical topics, “Fiala outlined the study program.
The interest is huge. “Every year we add 100 new students to the basic program and another 100 of them continue to study the Advanced Program. With this project, we even won the European Crime Prevention Award. “ added Fiala.
