9-1-1 Public Safety Telecommunicators are the FIRST RESPONDERS! |
| |
| In almost every emergency situation,
9-1-1 Telecommunicators are the first public safety workers "on the scene". As a 9-1-1 Telecommunicator
you will talk to people who have just been the victim of a crime or are reporting a crime. You will
take the call from a frantic father reporting that his home is on fire. You will tell a mother how to
clear her child's airway and save their life. You will calm and comfort the hurt, injured, and
distraught. You will be a part of the team that arrests dangerous criminals. |
| |
|
This is the real thing, just like you have seen on the TV shows "Rescue 911", "COPS" and "Trauma". |
| |
|
Many times, it is the actions, quick thinking and training of a 9-1-1 telecommunicator that makes
the difference between life and death. |
| |
Benefits include:
- Membership in the South Dakota Retirement System
- 80 hours of paid vacation earned the first year
- 80 hours of paid holiday per year
- 96 hours paid sick leave earned per year
- Outstanding health insurance coverage
- All training paid
- Uniforms shirts provided
- On-site workout and locker room
- Reduced YMCA membership
- and more!
|
| |
|
These are just some of the benefits of being a 9-1-1 Telecommunicator. |
| |
| Persons interested in this career are encouraged to visit the communication center in
Rapid City and observe 9-1-1 Telecommunicators in action. We recommend that you schedule an appointment to
observe and allow at least 2 hours. When you come in, we will give you a headset, have you plug in with
a 9-1-1 Telecommunicator and listen to 9-1-1 calls and police, fire and EMS radio traffic. Observing in
this manner will convince you that this is the career for you! |
