This may include 911 training, various apco or similar training, EMD training, first responder, Leaps certification, and experience. 911 and leaps you can only get from an agency that hires you. The EMD / APCO stuff / first responder you can get privately. Many places that hire you part time will supply this training to you, but if they're looking for someone full time, they want a turn-key operation generaly. I spent 100 hours training as a part timer, and only 24 at a totaly new department when I went full time a year later. So, if all you can get is part time, take it. that is if you really want to dispatch. Its not a great job. Pay isnt great, not very rewarding, and you dont pick when you get to fuck-off at work... |

| Originally Posted by EOD1 well i dunnoif its considered paying dues. i just notice in the leaps files that they give pref to those w/ experience. there is oppurtunitties out in our area. R u looking for a foot in the door or a full time job or both. P/T dispatching is bad if u r not trying to raisea family or something. |
