They must become certified in multiple areas in order to work this job. I am very proud of the dedication and effort that they put into their job everyday to help keep the people and property in this community safe. This is a very stressful career. You never know what type of call you will take when the phone rings and you must be prepared. When the phone rings you must determine if an emergency exists; get an exact location of the emergency; respond the appropriate emergency vehicles/units; be prepared to provide pre-arrival instructions; keep up with all radio communication traffic; key all information into multiple computer systems; and more. All the while, if another phone rings, you must be able to answer that call too. The Police Communications Officers (9- 1-1 Dispatchers) are behind the scenes heroes everyday", Police Communications Manager Anne Sanders said.
