Under immediate supervision (Public Safety Dispatcher I) or general supervision (Public Safety Dispatcher II), receives and responds to emergency and non-emergency calls; dispatches Police and emergency units and maintains contact with personnel in the field; operates a variety of transmitting/receiving equipment; performs a variety of general support duties related to dispatch activities; and performs related duties as assigned.
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives immediate supervision (Public Safety Dispatcher I) or general supervision (Public Safety Dispatcher II) from assigned management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Public Safety Dispatcher I: This is the entry-level classification in the Public Safety Dispatcher series.
Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform receiving and dispatching emergency call duties in support of the Police Department. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Public Safety Dispatcher II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.
Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
Public Safety Dispatcher II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Public Safety Dispatcher series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Public Safety Dispatcher I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.
Positions in the Public Safety Dispatcher class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
