I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bentonville Police Department (Bentonville, AR) in Jun 2010
Interview
After my application was excepted a typing text was conducted to ensure that I can type by touch. The next day I had a group interview with five people. The Dispatch manager, shift leaders, and the Fire Chief. For this postition a drug test, physical, and extensive background check was done. All references were contacted, then an interview with the Chief of police and Captain were done.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
"With no experience in dispatching why do you want to be a dispatcher?"
