As a Dispatcher, you will receive emergency calls and dispatch law enforcement officers, fire, and emergency medical services throughout the County. You will utilize specialized computer systems to secure necessary information for law enforcement personnel and enter data regarding warrants, personal protective orders, stolen vehicles, and other critical records.

Candidates must be able to pass a background check; a conviction for a violation of criminal law (excluding traffic, conservation, and liquor laws) is automatically disqualifying. The position requires normal hearing and normal color vision.
