SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED Receives immediate (Public Safety Dispatcher I) or general (Public Safety Dispatcher II) supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel.

Initially under immediate supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine duties in support of public safety communications. Duties include frequent interaction with the public via telephone in both emergency and non-emergency situations. The position requires incumbents to receive, relay and provide accurate information, forms and reports to others within established legal guidelines. Once a Public Safety Dispatcher I completes training, and as incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently, general supervision and frequent review of work lessen.

Work is supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

This class is distinguished from the Senior Public Safety Dispatcher in that the latter performs the complex work assigned to the series and is responsible for providing lead direction and training to lower-level staff in the series. Positions in the Public Safety Dispatcher class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
