I never worked as a police dispatcher, but I did some dispatching for the Massachusetts Statehouse, which was much easier than I could imagine for what PD dispatchers go through. Very stressful at times and looking at a computer screen. We had the additional responsibility of keeping tabs on what we call "video wall", which was 30+ cameras of various angles within the Capitol Building. But can be decent pay and a foot in the door for LE.
I’ve been a dispatcher for about 6 years. You’re looking at 12-16 hour shifts, plan on working every holiday for the first few years, and you’d better be able to handle tough calls and structure. You’ll need to be reliable and don’t deviate from policy. It’s nothing like the TV shows and social media try to make it out to be.
