Dispatchers

Emergency Dispatch
Helping First Responders Logo

Dispatchers are unsung heroes in public safety. They spend their days speaking with terrified, angry, and sometimes suicidal people. They look at multiple computer screens and listen to people they will never see and get involved in situations, and they will frequently not know how they resolve.

Dispatchers piece together information from frantic callers and coherently relay information to the people responding to these crises.

Dispatchers are expected to multitask while committing no errors. Their errors could mean life and death. They are the light and a calming voice leading people to safety and security. Dispatchers are the lifeline of society. Dispatchers ride an emotional roller coaster for 8, 10, 12 hours; they are then expected to return to their normal lives.
