                                          Dispatch can be a very rewarding and fulfilling career.  It is the ultimate form of                                                            “customer service”. 9-1-1 Telecommunicators and called dispatchers are the vital link                                                  between citizens with a problem and the Police, Fire and EMS responders.

                                          If you ask 9-1-1 Telecommunicators what they like about their job, they will tell you:

  1.                                    Exciting work environment

  •                                    The opportunity and ability to help people in need

  •                                    Interaction with other dispatchers, police officers and fire personnel

  •                                    Variety – there’s always something new

  •                                    Being a hero to someone every day

​Dispatchers are required to make quick decisions; coordinate multiple tasks at one time; have reasoning skills and the ability to maintain control of a situation. It is the nature of the job that, at any time, an emergency will require a dispatcher’s full and immediate attention and response. Individuals with the ability to remain calm, professional and even-tempered during emergency situations are the candidates necessary for this challenging, yet rewarding, career.
