According to a post on the department's Facebook page, the position offers a "fast-paced job with good benefits." If you have a desire to help those who find themselves in an emergency situation, but don't have the ability to become a police officer, firefighter, or EMT, this would be the perfect opportunity to be an extremely important part of the process as you would serve as essentially the first, first responder; the person responsible for gathering the information and directing the other agencies on where to go and what they'll be dealing with once they get there.

Central Dispatch Job Responsibilities

The main responsibility would be to field incoming calls for residents who feel they need assistance from the police department, fire department, or a medical technician. Of course, some of those residents could be in a panic when they call, so it will be important that you have the ability to remain calm in order to provide them with the help they need. Other responsibilities, according to the Evansville city website include "prioritizing complaints," as well as, "data entry and records maintenance."
