Discuss Testing for Emergency Central Dispatch Ramsey & Associates will be the testing company for the Emergency Central Dispatcher Examination. The examination will consist of a written multiple choice test and an audio test which should be completed in about two (2) hours; the examination will not include a typing test. The duties of a Dispatcher are: sit at the phones and takes the incoming calls; use a lot of discretion of how to respond and then make the call to the appropriate Police or Fire Department. This is a very important position and is very fast pace at times; the individual has to be a cool and collected person who can make decisions quickly and obtain a lot of information from the caller. The CAD system monitors the phone calls and there are not a lot of key strokes when inputting the information received. The passing score has been set for 70% and the testing company will determine the value of the two (2) components of the test. The first fifty (50) applicants that return completed applications will be allowed to take the test. The date of the examination will be Saturday, February 16, 2008. Ms. Thomas indicated she will check further but believes the Dispatcher position is on the job training; an eight (8) hour shift, five (5) days a week. The position starts as part-time and then a test will be given for the full time position. The ad should be in the Plain Dealer on January 6th; the application deadline will be January 21, 2008.
