Dispatchers

Want to work in a profession that is exciting all while not believing what you are hearing on the other end of the phone?

We have the job for you! At DeKalb County Central Communications, you become the voice between emergency or responders—the calm in the middle of someone else’s storm. You will hear things you can’t make up, see nothing, and still know everything that matters in that moment.

Oh, should we include that we have a full kitchen where you can cook real food instead of the typical microwave dinner like at other places of employment?
This job is serious.
But if you can handle serious, you might as well have a sense of humor too.

REQUIREMENTS
Must be 18 years of age or older (We checked, 17 and a half does not count, no matter how confident you feel.)
High School Diploma or GED required
Must stay at least 3 WPM
(Typing tests are not the only way we judge. Hunt-and-peck is allowed, but we will silently judge you.)

APPLICANTS MUST SURVIVE:
Typing test
Written Examination
Oral Interviews
Hearing & Vision Testing
(Yes, you actually need to see and hear things. We checked that too.)

APPLICANTS MUST ALSO PASS:
Polygraph Examination
(Yes, we will ask if you ever exaggerated your typing speed.)
Psychological Evaluation
(No, I’m fine is not the official answer key.)
Drug Screen
Comprehensive Background Investigation
(If it shows up on Google, assume we already saw it.)
