Additionally, the incumbent in the 911 Communications Dispatcher I is expected to learn the more difficult or responsible duties typically assigned to the position in the next higher class of 911 Communications Dispatcher II. In order to promote to the 911 Communications Dispatcher Series, incumbents in the 911 Communications Calltaker classification must apply for the position when it is available and successfully pass recruitment and examination for said position.

Rarely will you ever get a chance to meet the hundreds of people who call for help, yet they'll depend on your voice, your directions, and your knowledge to get through an emergency. No day is ever routine - one call may be a minor traffic accident, while the next is a frantic voice screaming for help. Both will be depending on your calm, firm voice and direction until help can arrive. Using state-of-the-art equipment and training, you'll provide the excellent service and security people have come to expect from San Mateo County Dispatch.

To be considered for this position, you must have:

• Completed the POST Entry-Level Dispatcher Selection Test Battery (POST Dispatcher Test) with a minimum T-score of 52 within one year of date of application OR taken and passed the 'CritiCall' exam within one year of date of application.
