Emergency dispatcher/call taker - Emergency Dispatcher Prince George's County Employee Review

Unless you really want to be an emergency dispatcher, I would advise you to explore other careers. The hiring process is entirely too long for a $32,000 salary. You have to pass an exam, do two background checks, interview with a panel, submit high school and college transcripts, etc. You'll probably have to work weekends, evening or night shift and through holidays once hired. You can apply for a Security Officer position and get paid the same amount. The job is less stressful and only requires one trip to the Reeves Center for a license.
