About the position

Duties
Telecommunications Operators (9-1-1 Police Dispatcher) provide a critical service within the RCMP that support both public and officer safety through the provision of information and assistance.

Telecommunications Operators are the hidden back bone for the work that our police officers carry out in communities across Canada.

What does the work involve?

Monitoring of police resources and systems with computer aided dispatch and monitoring systems
Telecommunications Operators respond to public requests for police assistance, and many provide emergency services as a Public Safety Answering Point for 9-1-1.
Telecommunications Operators often are the first point of contact with people who call the RCMP which gives you a chance to assist the public when they are facing a crisis and get them the resources and help they need.

This requires a level of multi-tasking simultaneously on computers with multiple screens/programs while responding to calls on a radio/phone of which some may be highly stressful "life or death" situations. Telecommunications Operators are often exposed to emotionally charged clients and incidents which may be traumatic, violent and disturbing. Telecommunications Operators work shift work (24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year).
