Answer 2

It depends on what is better for you. I am a dispatcher and a matron so I get both sides of the job. I deal with the inmates as well as do the dispatching for 911. Dispatching can be very stressful at times and if you dont do well under stress then the dispatching positon is not for you. You also have to be able to keep your voice calm in certain situations even when you are not, because if you dont that will just make certain situations worse. You also have to be able to multi-task in that position....for example when you have a car accident and you have 8 different 911 lines going off at the same time you still must inform the officers of what they have and where it is as well as getting other help that may be needed for that situation, for example an ambulance or rescue. A corrections officer is different. You must be able to stand your ground when coming in contact with the inmates and you must be able to put up with a lot of crap that can be said and done to you. If you want something that is going to be different everyday, choose the dispatcher....if you want something that doesnt change much...do the corrections officer job.

Where you go to obtain a dispatcher (911) application depends upon your city structure. In my own community you may obtain this type application from either the Communications Center at the 911 facility or through the police department. Best place to go would be the city administration office.

Answer 4

Our 911 call-takers are hired by our local police service. They take in all 911 calls and dispatch police and fire. Ambulance calls are patched to a second set of dispatchers (in a different building). You need to find out who and where your 911 call takers are situated and who they work for. Try contacting your local police information officer and start from there. Good luck!

Answer 5

To become a 911 dispatcher? Go down to your local fire department. They might have some information for you. However, keep in mind, if you live in a rural area, your fire department is most likely not dispatched from your town. In our county, every fire department in the county is dispatched from one station in the main city.

Answer 6

Just go to your local Police Dept., and put in your resume!! my sister used to be a 911 dispatch , but she got out, because their was too much nonsense going on "Politically Speaking" among fellow employees!!! It was a very Stressful job, for her!! And my sister is like a walking , talking GENIOUS, too!!! The stress wasn't in the job, but the job place!! But, then again this was in the Big City of LONG BEACH, CALIF!!! So, I think that ought to speak for itself !! Maybe, where your trying to apply wont be as bad, as where my sister lived!! Hopefully, for your sake, and make sure you dont have any criminals in your family, or they'll all find out, and believe me, they will "JUDGE" you!!! Even, if their disdant cousin's!!! Or a long lost, relative!!! You do want to go in their with a "Sparkly Clean" family backround, for sure!!!! Smile!!!
