He has been a member of the police patrol, the field leader and now the general leader.
In this case, the police must go to the scene to check the situation. Sometimes the initial data is not true and the person is in perfect condition. In any case, the police must check them.
The Western Uusimaa district is a good example of the increase in such tasks: in 2010, there were about 400 tasks, over 1,400 last year.

Some of the tasks are those where a person is found dead. Sometimes the police are the first to be there and gives emergency first aid, sometimes the situation goes with an ambulance, says Hokkinen.
One general situation arises from the fact that a loved one does not get in touch with a person who may have a background to such nausea.
It, What causes the increase in the amount of nausea is a difficult question.
According to Hokkinen, for example, the fact that a person says he has experienced some kind of setbacks and therefore intends to harm himself or herself. Another clear reason is the intoxicants.
The abuse of drugs and drugs is clearly visible in cases, he says. A typical case is an overdose of different drugs, after which the person announces his or her loved one of his work. Again, the police are going to check the situation.
