3 Public Safety Dispatcher Reviews

Public Safety Dispatcher at City of Midland

"Turnover is high, but if you are with the right center and have the right management it can be a rewarding career. Dispatching is not for everyone. It takes a certain type of personality to handle talking to people in situations of extreme emergency."

Public Safety Dispatcher at California Highway Patrol

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"The review is efficient and to the point of what needs to be said about the subject involved."

What do you like about working at California Highway Patrol?

"I enjoyed working with many of the people and on the computer systems as the CAD coordinator. Being able to assist the public and other agencies was good experience for working in any type of clerical or administrative position."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Save your time and energy. The state may seem like a good place to work and for some it may be, but with the amount of backstabbing and subversive tendancies of many of the employees it seems that the only way that they are happy is when they are either making someone else miserable or dealing with some sort of horrific tragedy that has occured."

What don't you like about working at California Highway Patrol?

"The management left something to be desired. They did not and do not listen to their employees about problems that could be going on either on or off the job. There is too much dissension among the workers and many of the workers do not trust their supervisors to even be able to do the job that they do."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"My suggestion for management is to get to know your people. If a supervisor can do the same job as the employee then the employee will have more respect for the supervisor and be able to follow their leadership and example more easily."
