After my first training day (they drill the "911, what is your emergency?" Into your head) my mom called me just to ask me how my week was... I picked up and said "911, what is your emergency?" .... Mortifying...😂😂😂
Yup, I used to work at a call center, and there were times when I'd go home my phone would ring and I'd start saying "Thank you for calling [company name,] may I have your name please?" D'oh!
Dragnil 4L you should do it! As long as you can control your nerves lol the most important thing is to get the location and what’s going on. Much luck to you
Okay I understand that you are calling about you have been shot. That is something that I would be happy to help you with today, and I thank you for taking the time to call us today
My heart goes out to the 9-1-1 dispatcher that received my call on 5/30/2016. I found my son after hearing a single gunshot. He was already deceased. I was in complete shock and I could tell the dispatcher never had a call like the one he was receiving from me. He kept asking me if I could do cpr and I said no and he kept saying he would walk me through it. I said no you don’t understand I can’t do it cause there’s no way I could. He went silent and apologized cause he must have realized what I was seeing. I screamed and cried and cursed god. I feel so bad for what he must have endured hearing my voice cry’s and words. I don’t remember much but I do remember he was trying to get off the phone and I said no you can’t leave me out here in the dark alone by myself please don’t leave me too. Then I remember the police arriving and I do t know if they took the phone call and ended it or I did but I always wanted to say thank you and I’m sorry that he had to hear me that way.
Becoming a 911 dispatcher/calltaker has been one of the most challenging things I have ever done something I know I could not do without my Lord Jesus helping me and my trainers patience. My center is the answering point for the entire city (both 911, non emerg lines, and city/municipal calls) , county, and nearby military base- we dispatch police, fire, medical, as well as animal control/public utilities on weekends/holidays. Everyday since I've started I've questioned why i took this job , I have doubted myself, and I have held back tears of sadness or frustration- every day. I have also learned so much but am still humbled everyday when a new situation or a new problem presents itself, it has truly given me a new perspective on life, first responders, and people in general. I look up and have a newfound respect for those that have made a career, it takes a very special kind of person to do so.
I really liked this video. I'm a police dispatcher in Southern California and the job is the same no matter where you go. It was nice to see the City Manager try the job even if it was for one traffic stop.
1994CPK Yes and no. It's easier on the call taking side for men. People hear a male voice and assume they're talking to an officer, tend to be a little more cooperative. It's sexist, but that's how the world is sometimes. Radios it doesn't really matter as much. As far as gender shaming it depends largely on the department, number of dispatchers and officers. Center like that is pretty big judging from the setup, probably more diversity, doubt there's much. Small town though, expect the cops to rib a male dispatcher about when he's going to man up and go to the academy.
My sister has work for our local 911 (BOEC) for 22 years, hats off to all of you for everything you do and sacrifice. THANK YOU just really isn't enough.
Save for when you call em like 3 times and the police never show up, or they show up more than an hour later... Let me tell you, noone thinks you are honorable then.
There is no such thing as multitasking though you are just switching tasks rapidly because your eyes and brain can’t focus on more than one thing at a time
I want to do this so bad because I saw a video of a guy who was amputated by a baler and was crying to the dispatcher that he was his hero and it seemed really rewarding
My friend does this in the UK and also does 12 hour shifts. He says it is because there isn't enough staffing and there isn't enough funding to get new staff either.
A lot of people have 12 hour shifts. My old job was that way. Common practice is ABCD schedule. Let's say you're on A shift. You get to work at 7 AM Monday, and leave at 7 PM, then you work that shift Tuesday and Wednesday. Then you're off Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It's not exactly like this all the time, but this is an example of my schedule.
Thanks for posting this video, its a job from an applicant or candidate stand point that it seems like a rewarding job and it is. I did volunteer EMD dispatch before some years back and I recently got certified from the Association of Public Safety Officials (APCO) for public safety level 1 I also have my unarmed security license for the state I live in. Basically I failed I think 2 times already when testing and I failed the 1st time around when I was taking this WPM typing test (tested at 34 WPM when the county I applied for which is my county has a requisite of 35 WPM, Ironically I test very frequently at home at a rate of 49-53 WPM with an above 90% grade........For a reason even unknown to me I got nervous and I remember I began to worry about being super accurate instead of just letting myself do my thing) then recently I failed a cumulative score that tested 4 different areas including a video dispatch test, a typing test, 911 simulation and finally a data entry test..............thing is I failed by 2 points. I have been feeling very down about this actually I feel like a total failure but I wont quit practicing my typing ability and I wont quit trying to improve and I wont quit applying because I know this was meant for me, the universe just likes to see how badly you really want something sometimes.
Took me 12 yrs to have enough seniority to request and receive Chritmas Day off ! After 22 yrs of service, it left me with cardio-vascular problems big time. 2 heart attacks and 4 TIAs by age 60.
12 hour shifts, 7 days a week, 356 days a year? And the job involves intense multitasking while responding to brutal murders, kidnappings, rapes, etc?! And the starting salary is only $25-45k?!? This sounds like the most horrible job ever conceived. Who would even take it?
How facinating how your police deptartment works, Living in Yorkshire England we cannot see what our emergency service do so it is so great to see one works. Thanks
Im actually training in a support service sec. and ohboyy... It was though but kinda fun cuz it's like you're playing among us except here it's with real life. I mostly handle person with anxiety attack, and self harming. And it's kinda terrifying cuz my mentor is always besides me making sure i didn't make any mistakes... But I've been doing so great these days.. Thanks for the vid! I like it:)
I was actually thinking of applying to be a 911 dispatcher recently. As my city is currently hiring, is it a pretty simple but hard job as well? Because you probably get some of the most interesting emergency calls as well.
In short it's a long process to apply for, I myself want to apply for 911 Dispatch. Best person to watch videos on this subject would be Laura Bryant as she has a lot of videos covering her time as a 911 dispatcher and helpful tips being one.
Yeah, she was saying that the job itself is a 24/7 entity. But departments break it down to 3 or 4 days on and 4 days off, and they are also subject to being called back in if its an emergecy and its hectic

As a 911 dispatcher they have us ask location first. Location is very very important. Then information on the person including names age, then onto what the emergency is about. As im still typing the info down im already dispatching ambulance to location and the info.

Karen Perez hey I’m in training in Ga but the pay is pretty good. Plus with working 12 hr shifts, about 2/3 days a week, a single day of overtime(anywhere from 4-12 hrs) puts u at a possible 12 OT hours PLUS the 4 OT hours that are “built into” the schedule. 16 time and a half hours total. Double pay on holidays.
So so so cool now, I wonder if it's just me ?.......like does anyone else think of a Communications center for 911 dispatch or something similar and just go "HECK YES, BATCAVE !" Or am I a weirdo ? Look at all those toys now....um I mean technologically advanced computer systems and screens ! It makes me really excited honestly. Lol.

Question; what is the time said over the air do? is that so they can log what times every occurs at; for example when the she said “194, I’m code 4” and then Scott said “194 your code 4 at 10:47”.
Guess if you could do this you could be a air traffic control but I’m guessing that pays way better, I’d do the latter if I was smart enough, like these peeps.
I would love to have this job. But I've got a learning disability. Do they have like tutoring secessions for people who need a little bit more help learning how to do this job?

Greg Corrigan good job
Greg Corrigan
do men get shamed who do this job? I noticed it's mostly women
I think it's just because women are notoriously better multitaskers.
Blue mulyi taskin looks scary...so many diffrent systems

That was a forward slash
Guess if you could do this you could be a air traffic control but I’m guessing that pays way better, I’d do the latter if I was smart enough, like these peeps.
Any reason why they're in a dimmly lit room working 12 hours shifts? Seems really bad for the eyes.

Dispatcher is HR of all emergency services(not boss)
The pay better be good .. for doing all that
Where is this ?? At a police station or a different kind of building?
Happy Haley it's an EOC or EEOC center. May be located inside a police HQ or precinct, but often are their own buildings.
Would I be able to go and visit a dispatch station in my city?
Contact them and ask if you can do a sit along.
Sit along yes, but if they're riding a desk for 12 hours, would that also technically be a "ride along"? lol
You need more subs
