In my city the dispatch handles police/fire/EMS. They’re civilians and it’s a pretty depressing job. The pay isn’t that good but it is with the city so the benefits are great, lots of time off and top-notch insurance.
Let’s hope anon won’t get a major disaster at his watch. I’ve heard many stories about how 911 hotline workers get scarred by this job. You get people literally dying or endangered on the phone and can’t do nothing but forwarding their request to another service.
I’d rather kill myself than work police dispatch.
Edit: folks, this is a commentary on how dispatch jobs have a higher rate of suicide.
