I hope you are not in public service with an attitude like that!The police job is certainly not to save some lunatic that wants to end their life... Quoting a movie as a supporting point. Wow, that's rich. Ensure public safety and maintain order, that's their job. Locking up the lunatic in a mental hospital if they survive or picking up the pieces. Bring in a specialist that may talk the person down but you certainly don't risk any innocent lives for someone trying to kill themselves. I wouldn't expect a policeman to try to stop thieves either if there was undue risk to their lives, that's pure idiocy from watching a few too many movies. A job is a job, you don't go risking your life unless it's absolutely necessary and even then, it should remain a choice not an obligation.
