In Poland most search and rescue operations are undertaken by the airborne units of the [[Polish Armed Forces]]. The Navy currently has the largest SAR fleet of helicopters and also operates a number of small vessels for the purpose of rescuing crewmen of stricken ships. There is also, however a semi-governmental organisation known as the 'Morska Służba Poszukiwania i Ratownictwa' (''Maritime Search and Rescue Service'')<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sar.gov.pl/|title=Morska Służba Poszukiwania i Ratownictwa|work=sar.gov.pl|access-date=26 February 2015}}</ref> which provides the vast majority of seaborne services to vessels in distress; the service is currently (as of 2010) in the process of overhauling and replacing a large portion of its fleet of [[lifeboat (rescue)|lifeboat]]s.

Other civilian search and rescue units in Poland include:

* [[Górskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe]], GOPR (Mountain Volunteer Search and Rescue)
* [[Tatrzańskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe]], TOPR (Tatra Mountains Volunteer Search and Rescue)
* Wodne Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe, WOPR (Water Volunteer Search and Rescue) - operating on inland and coastal waters
