Hmmm....dispatcher. That's something you could do...
clerk...person who takes the calls...and
dispatcher...person who gives out the calls.
We're civilianizing a lot of positions in our dept right now. All the sworn officers who are dispatching are being put back out into the field due to not enough officers on the street. We've had a bunch of trainees lately. Some good....some horrible. I WON'T go into stories about this.
But, if you can multi-task...like seriously multi-task, dispatching is a very respectable position. You have a lot of officers to watch over. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love one of our dispatchers up in the communications office...Kat. She is freakin awesome....period. No one can even come close to her ability....and she works WITH the officers taking the calls. It's increadible.
It can be stressful. But, it's not a bad job. The have the ergonimic chairs, you are at a desk (not hurting your back any further). If you're interested, go for it.
