Do not get me wrong in the fact that it is a good job to do but dispatchers are the forgotten children of public safety sometimes. In regards to your question everyone is right in saying that if you get hired your agency will put you through the 911 training and most likely EMD training as well. Once again good luck. |

I want to do things again and be hands on, not just sit behind a desk! |
