Are You Ready to Become a 911 Dispatcher?
Did you know that some 911 centers are reporting vacancy rates as high as 70%?
Why does this matter?
911 centers facing staff shortages are pushing their current dispatchers into mandatory overtime, leading to burnout. Not only are the dispatchers being overworked, but citizens are also left waiting longer for someone to respond to their emergency calls. We need more dispatchers, are you ready to answer the call?
Since becoming a 911 Dispatcher in 2018, I launched The Raspy Dispatcher to guide aspiring dispatchers through the application process while highlighting the critical role dispatchers play in emergency services.
AND I BELIEVE THE WORLD NEEDS MORE 911 DISPATCHERS.
