Dispatcher Jobs in Corona, CA

A Dispatcher in the law enforcement industry serves as the pivotal communication link between public safety services and the community. They are responsible for receiving emergency and non-emergency calls, determining the nature and location of incidents, and deploying the appropriate emergency services promptly and efficiently. Dispatchers need to keep track of field units, monitor their activities, and provide them with necessary information. They must maintain accurate computer-aided dispatch records and be able to use radio communication systems proficiently.

Important skills a Dispatcher should have include excellent communication and listening skills, the ability to multitask under pressure, and strong problem-solving skills. Knowledge of local geographical areas and a basic understanding of law enforcement procedures are also useful. They should hold certain certifications such as CPR certification and complete a dispatcher training program approved by the relevant state regulatory authority. Prior to becoming a Dispatcher, an individual might work as a Customer Service Representative, Telecommunications Operator, or Administrative Assistant, roles where they can acquire relevant skills in dealing with public inquiries, operating communication systems, and handling stressful situations.
