PRINCE GEORGE – RCMP dispatchers are a vital link in an emergency. They are the first to collect information and can sometimes play life-saving roles. RCMP is looking to recruit people who can handle these challenges.

Having the ability to stay calm during an emergency is vital. Gathering quality information can help police understand what they will face when they arrive on the scene of an emergency,

An experienced 911 operator can react to many things, from answering calls when help is most needed to coordinating strategies with the responding police officer.

While police dispatching is not for everyone, the RCMP has paid training and mentorship programs to help you reach your goals.
