The Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic is a central government ministry responsible for public order, internal security, and civil administration. Its mandate encompasses overseeing the Police of the Czech Republic, fire and rescue services, crisis management, elections, and migration affairs. Tracing its institutional heritage to the 1918 Czechoslovak interior ministry, the Czech entity was formally established in 1969 following the federalization of Czechoslovakia before transitioning into the ministry of the independent republic in 1993.
