911 Operator: A Day in the Life

[NLYARBER]

This job is not a joke. You don't understand the types of situations we deal with on a daily basis.

I consider my job to be far different than that of an operator. I coordinate emergencies and help people in time of need. I don't patch calls through and assist you with making long distance calls.

[buzman1985]

We are Dispatchers, not operators.

Cool, I have a friend who is a dispatcher for the sheriff's dept. I didn't know that 911 "call people" were dispatchers, not operators. Thanks for the info.

[jestman5]

whatever... and actually 911 is a transcomunicator THEN they dispatch police THEN the police respond

[buzman1985]

The big difference is I don't patch calls through to people and help you find numbers.

I am a Telecommunications Operator for the RCMP. So technically the title must vary from place to place.

[DCASOI]

you and every other 911 operator are just that operators. You are paid to operate an emergency communication system no matter how small or big. Dispatching is a function of an operator in addition to operating the CAD, Radio and teletype systems.
