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?

Ashley Valenzuela is on a mission to spread the word about the life-saving work of 911 professionals.

After earning her undergrad and graduate degrees in criminal justice, Ashley thought she’d be on patrol, but instead, she found herself answering emergency calls in the 911 communication center.

Looking back, she realized there wasn’t much support or recognition for current or aspiring dispatchers, so she’s set out to change that—because the world needs more dispatchers.
