Proposal for the Improvement of Security Measures in the Slovak Republic During the Exit and Transfer of Sports Fans from Railway Stations

Abstract

Organizing sporting events brings with it some of risks. One of the potential risks is the transfer of fans to sporting events. Fans often use railway station to move. It is at the point of their exit at the railway station that a process begins in which the event organizers, local and state security forces, the railway police and other participating subjects begin to be responsible for the security situation in a diversified manner. Football and hockey matches have long been one of the riskiest events in the Slovak Republic. Despite the currently epidemic situation, which restricts the movement of people between countries, districts, but also the overall very limited sometimes restricted participation of spectators in sporting events, it is necessary to explore ways to improve the situation when the society will operate as in previous years. In addition to material losses during the transfer and departure of fans to events or returning to the railway station, there is also a risk of health damage to the health and lives of disinterested people.
