The Ministry of the Interior (MoI) purchased equipment worth CZK 2.4 billion between 2018 and 2022 without taking into account the needs of police officers. The result was surplus supplies on the one hand and a shortage of equipment on the other. For example, there are women's jackets in the MoI warehouses that will continue to be issued for almost 50 years at the current rate of use. On the other hand, for example, the MoI purchased only six thousand work overalls in 2019 instead of the 12,000 needed, and in 2022 there was a shortage of some polo shirts. Despite the introduction of an e-shop dispensing system and then the closure of four garment dispensing centres, the cost of distributing the equipment has not decreased, but rather increased. The MoI has also not taken effective steps to restrict the sale of police equipment to people on the internet.
