Description and Essential Functions THE POSITION The City of Murrieta is seeking highly motivated individuals for the positions of Public Safety Dispatcher I/II for the Murrieta Police Department. The department intends to hire 12 new Public Safety Dispatchers due to entering into a Dispatch Services Agreement with the City of Menifee. The agreement stipulates that Murrieta's existing dispatch center will provide dispatch services to the Murrieta Police Department as well as the Menifee Police Department effective on July 1, 2020. The ideal candidates should be able to deal effectively with a diverse public in routine and emergency situations and demonstrate a high level of communication skills. Prior experience as a police, fire, or medical dispatcher is highly desirable. It is anticipated that within the next 6-12 months, the City will be implementing Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD) for all communications personnel. First review of applications will begin on Thursday, September 26, 2019.

Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine tasks in both emergency and non-emergency situations. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Public Safety Dispatcher II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Public Safety Dispatcher II - This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Public Safety Dispatcher series.
