Public Safety Dispatchers don't just answer telephones and talk on the radio. Dispatchers are highly
trained, and are the first point of contact a caller with an emergency has. Dispatchers must quickly
obtain and analyze information about an emergency, then make split-second decisions on how to
appropriately handle the call. Dispatchers actually are the first responders, instructing callers on
how bystanders and the caller themselves can remain safe until help arrives. Dispatchers also
provide medical instructions over the telephone to keep patients stable and alive until an ambulance
arrives.
Dispatchers make a difference. If you want to go home at night feeling good about yourself, we invite
you to explore a career in emergency dispatch.
