Dispatch interview?

2800 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  COLE
Can any dispatcher please PM me. I would like to find out how a dispatch interview is conducted? For example, what questions do they most focus on? This is my first dispatch interview so I'm not experienced in such yet (but I am aware of the duties). Please inform me of anything that can help me out. Thanks

I started off in the law enforcement field dispatching and had several interviews. From what I recall there were questions about my background, training, education, availability and willingness to work weekends/midnights, and scenario questions. One of the scenario questions that I remember was:

1. There is a 911 call for a person having a heart attack, a report of an accident with injuries, an officer requesting information on a traffic stop, and a person calling in an animal complaint. How would you prioritize those events in the following order.

Rather than PM, I figured I would post the scenario question for the benfit of everyone. I sure there are a few more people on the board that might be interested in possible questions as well. Good luck with your interviews.
