Assessment accommodation

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

To be considered for this position, you must have completed a 9-1-1 Police Dispatcher training program recognized by the RCMP or have experience call-taking and/or dispatching and completed a training program with another police agency. If you are not an experienced police dispatcher, please consider applying for positions titled 9-1-1 Police Dispatcher Trainee (PO-TCO-01).

Duties

9-1-1 Police Dispatchers receive and process emergency and non-emergency calls from the public and other agencies. Their role is to quickly prioritize, and accurately process calls to ensure police and public safety, resulting in safer communities.

A 9-1-1 Police Dispatcher has two primary roles:

• Call Taking: Answering calls from the public

• Dispatching: Directing police officers to respond to a specific location or event

As the “first” of the first responders, 9-1-1 Police Dispatchers serve as a critical link between citizens and the emergency help they require. They are the lifeline between people in critical and sometimes dangerous situations and the help they need.

Intent of the process

This process will be used to staff vacancies within the Winnipeg Operations Communication Centre.

Should a Civilian Member (CM) be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to the Public Service (PS) category for the CM. Information regarding the CM appointment will be sent to all applicable candidates who are within the area of selection and participated in the advertised process.
