🚨 NOW HIRING: 911 TELECOMMUNICATOR
BE THE VOICE THEY HEAR FIRST.
Before the deputy arrives.
Before the scene is secure.
Before help reaches the door.
There is a voice.
The Mississippi County Sheriff’s Office is seeking dependable, composed and motivated individuals to join our team as 911 Telecommunicators.
This isn’t simply answering a telephone.
You may be the first person someone speaks to on the worst day of their life.
You’ll gather critical information, communicate with first responders, dispatch law enforcement resources, monitor radio traffic and help coordinate the response to emergencies throughout Mississippi County.
THE JOB
As a 911 Telecommunicator, you will:
• Answer 911 and non-emergency calls
• Dispatch law enforcement personnel to calls for service
• Communicate with deputies by radio
• Enter and update calls in our Computer-Aided Dispatch system
• Conduct authorized ACIC/NCIC inquiries and entries
• Monitor multiple radio channels, computer systems and information sources
• Coordinate information with other public-safety agencies
• Maintain professional composure and accurate records during stressful situations
WE’RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN:
LISTEN. THINK. COMMUNICATE. MULTITASK.
You don’t have to arrive knowing everything about emergency communications.
You do need to be dependable, willing to learn, capable of making sound decisions and able to communicate professionally when the person on the other end of the line may be experiencing an emergency.
This is a 24-hour operation, which means applicants must understand that public safety doesn’t stop for nights, weekends or holidays.
WHY 911?
Because not every public-safety career happens behind a badge.
Some happen behind a headset.
Your voice can calm a frightened caller.
Your questions can uncover the detail a responding deputy needs.
Your radio transmission can help keep an officer safe.
Your decisions can help get resources where they’re needed.
You may never meet the person you helped — but you’ll know you were there when they needed someone.
ANSWER THE CALL.
