Patrols are sent to the homes of people who have suggested on the internet that they intend to commit suicide, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
Such people are then offered medical care, IAR added.
Last year, the Office for Combating Cybercrime at Polish police headquarters prevented 47 suicides, according to IAR.
