The County of San Mateo, Office of Public Safety Communications is looking for positive, professional, mature, enthusiastic, flexible and responsible individuals for 911 Communications Calltaker positions.

911 Calltakers perform a variety of telephone and computer aided operational duties in performing call taking of law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical dispatch (EMD) calls, and other public service agency calls including non-emergency and business-related calls. 

911 Communications Calltaker is an entry level classification. It is distinguished from 911 Communications Dispatcher I in that latter also performs radio responsibilities in addition to call taking. 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.

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.
