9-1-1 Police Dispatchers receive and process emergency and non-emergency calls from the public, Fire Departments, Ambulance Service and other first responder agencies such as Search and Rescue. Their role is to quickly prioritize, and accurately process calls to ensure police and public safety, resulting in safer communities. A 9-1-1 police dispatcher has two primary roles:

• Call Taking:
  Answering calls from the public
• Dispatching:
  Directing police officers to respond to a specific location or event

Intent of the process
"The immediate need is to create a pool of qualified candidates to staff temporary and/or permanent positions, (including term, acting appointments and assignments). This pool may also be used to staff similar positions, with various language and security requirements. Should a Civilian Member (CM) be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to the Public Service (PS) category for the CM."
