Has anyone worked as a police dispatcher before? I've heard it can be pretty grueling at times.

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.

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

Anybody with a priority date of mid-late 2015 that is considering switching jobs?

That makes me wonder if i could either miss my window or worse if the date becomes current while my new employer is still doing PERM. Anyone else faced this situation in the past or looked at it more deeply? Recommendations for good lawyers for advice also appreciated.
