Do you want to work in a fast-paced and challenging environment? Maybe you’re looking for something more relaxed? Oddly enough, a career at 9-1-1 can provide both day-to-day and even moment-to-moment. It has been rightly said that dispatchers aren’t paid for what they do, but are paid for what they’re ready to do.
There are a couple of things we can offer to prepare you for a career at 9-1-1. Most importantly is coming down and spending a few hours observing dispatchers at work. We’ll help you get that set up after you apply.
You don’t have to be a typing master to work here, but you need to know your way around a keyboard. Rather than the traditional words per minute (WPM) test, a keystrokes per hour (KPH) test aligns more with what we do here.
