Question

Does anyone know how you can become a 911 dispatcher?

Answer 1

Apply at 911 centers if they are hiring.  Any training you need will be provided by that agency once you get hired.

Answer 2

Some dispatch centers require previous 911 communications experience but many do not.  Any kind of call taking, dispatching, customer service experience can help.  Be prepared for a vigorous background check.  Good Luck.

Answer 3

Contact your local "Civil Service" and see if there are any testings coming up for 911 Operators/Dispatchers.
