- Officials say a delay in connecting with a 911 dispatcher could continue if more operators are not hired or trained soon. Eric Leonard reports for the NBC4 I-Team on Feb. 29, 2024.
I have 7 years experience. I applied many times but they never called!
Exacly.. picky
@@VinnieMack But then they want to cry 😂
Right. NEVER.
I applied and they called me back immediately, I have an interview next monday
sorry dear we couldn't hire you, your reference's were not vary favorable, maybe try applying at KFC!
I took the test years ago, and failed it, I think, 4/15th of the way. I have a lot of call center experience, and graduated from Cal State LA, with a background in Psychology and Social and Behavioral Science. I’d love to work for 911. It will always be a position that I’ll never have and so, I have to live with that. All those calling in, I hope you are well. 🕊️
That test is strictly listening, memory, putting things in its correct order and following directions. The majority of if not all come into that job with just a high school diploma. They are continuously testing for PSR, once you pass request a tour so when you interview you will have an idea of how the set up looks, meet with some of the captains and supervisors. The tour really made me decide on if I wanted that job or not. I didn’t
Miss we need to get you in touch with the LA mayor!!! LA city needs you!!!!
@@Comeon-no6jo Awee. Thank you. Last job, I was with EDD. Was contracted. Didn’t exactly feel called to return. I cried almost every week. Feel they are for profit. After, chose to work in homelessness, but I quit after 7 days b/c I seen corruption. Karen Bass cut the ribbon for the homeless nonprofit, I worked for. It was in the heart of DTLA. Was told about 80 people have died, since my depart. It was 20, when I was there. Dark drugs were used on the premises and it was ignored. Opted to work for other nonprofits, but felt they were potentially the same. Finland used California’s idea, but took it further. A lot further. It’s a long term issue. Not short term. They also assist with helping them become productive members of society. Finlands approach has been successful. For me, there is no amount of money I can be paid to not help people. Which means, I can’t be bought.
Currently, I’ll be with DPSS. Still serving my community. Cannot believe how hard it is to actually help people. I have an idea why, but that’s another story. Thank you! My life is to serve people. Paying it forward. Even though I have struggled.
@@Suzette_Lilyrose Bless your heart!!!
The DPSS will be very blessed to have a human like you creating positive outcomes for children for families, and for LA County!!!!
I understand what you were saying totally there is a lot of corruption !!!
My passion is public safety from a young age and I see many individuals in public safety that truly do it for the benefits and pay!!! And on top of that there are some members of public safety that truly don’t have the best interest to serve the public!!!
I wish I can go into detail, but I am not able TO!!!
It doesn’t cost anything to be nice to someone, especially someone that is experiencing a challenging situation!!!!
@@Comeon-no6jo thank you. Not easy to speak freely. Yes, some just do it for the pay and benefits, yet lack genuine empathy. Some don’t have any educational qualifications. Not saying a person needs education. All anyone really needs, is a heart. From my view, once money is transactional, it becomes less valuable. Use things and not people because the opposite never works. In my personal life, I grew up with this and that, so when I meet people. I meet them where they are. Not with what they have.
THANK YOU, for your service 🕊️
This is free advertising for a job?
Low-staff 911 dispatchers and low-staff cops, Gascon not being a real DA. This is why criminals love committing crimes in LA county. It’s a real life GTA 5 session.
Failure of DA and proposition 47.
This is just one simple example of dozens of vacancies in other LA city departments.
PSR? They are first responders and should be respected as such.
maybe you should pay them a living wage?
PSR’s make 6 figures. They are paid well. It’s just a very stressful job and requires a serious commitment. Rotating hours. All that calling off work won’t be tolerated. I work with many people who were once PSR’s, they decided on another city career that does not require you to turn over your life
@@Laniece4u2 They definately do not start out at that rate….they might top out there……
@@jonathandpg6115 i definitely never said they do. But depending on their shift and bilingual pay they can.. PSR’s make good money just like CSR’s who work for a certain City dept. They can make 100k way before their last steps. Are you a PSR?
Dispatchers dont pay that much in Cali to care about people.
We also need to provide our 911 angel dispatchers a minimum of $40 an hour. With a beautiful pension. They are part of public safety, and they are not treated as such!!!! Without our 911 angel dispatchers R. City will not be able to dispatch police fire medical !!!!
let’s not treat 911 LA city angel dispatchers like second class responders they are first class responders and they deserve first class PAY 💰 Benefits 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇✅✅✅✅🥇🥇🥇🥇
I strongly agree. They should be paid more for all they do
@@BelindaMorris-ww4yg 🙏✅🙏🥇
AI will take care of that..
AI: "Sorry, I didn't get that, would you please repeat?"
Said the same, AI will get better over time
with ai we really just have to get the id aspect of things really down well.
from there we could make next generation voting systems, dispatching, air control, etc
otherwise there would be an abundance of people misusing the systems
Ai won't be able to discern the machine gun cussing nor the callers 4 way conversation during a drunk domestic that usually occurs during those incidents.
@@Native722 oh no doubt, but speaking as a former 911 dispatcher retired with almost 25 years of experience, it will never have the soul, compassion & empathy necessary to comprehend what is required to help others.
Dispatch, my pov, is a calling!
911 whats your emergency ? We NEeD MoRe 911 DiSpaTcHeRs !!!
PSR looks over several unoccupied cubicles , Is that you Capt. Ray ?
The LAPD has always had a shortage of police officers and PSR’s even when I worked there 30+ years ago. Things never change due to politics and horrible chain of command/command staff. It’s always the same complaints. The only positive thing is they created new dispatch centers through out the city finally rather than in the basement of city hall like it used to be. It’s a very hard job and I gotta give it up to those that hang in there!
Can you rent a 1 bd apartment with 33% of the post tax wages for the job? The starting salary is 58k which after taxes is about 29k which if I divide by 12 and take 33% is $800 a month? Any 1 bd apartments available in LA for $800? A studio.
How about 50% your take home thats about 1.2k a month and 50% means you will have trouble saving for retirement ect. Any 1 Bd in LA for 1.2k?
They should hire all the migrants that are coming in
Yes, I'll do this job no problem 🙏🏼
😂 Español press 3
If they can do the job I'd welcome them. There are a lot of jobs that Americans have decided are "beneath them." A lot of those jobs are important. If migrants are willing and able to do the job, get em a headset and I'll train them.
This sounds like a job for AI
well thats years away - we need people *now.* Not in the 3, 4, 5, or 10 years its going to take to make a viable dispatching ai.
The hours are nuts...12 hours? what's wrong with 8 hours?
12? We work 16s at my center.
As for whats wrong with 8s? Nothing - if you have the staffing to cover 8 hour shifts. Thats where the issue is.
Additionally, a lot of us prefer 12s and that extra day off. Ideally I'd love to move to 4 10s. But again. With staffing levels so low, those shifts are not possible for most centers.
They only have 8 hr and 10 hr shifts. The only time you'll work 12 is with overtime included.
Thanks but I already got snatched by another company!
I would like to become one 911 responders and help others
LA now got Oakland Problems.
How can this be when you get pay 💰 good hmm 🤔
More like an overabundance of crime.
Provide a campus of dorms for them to live in for dirt cheap (or free) yet still pay them desirable wages, and there will be far applicants than you need - the next day.
The military already does that and they cant get recruits either.
There system is falling apart no military no prison guards now this no dispatcher
Maybe it's because you can make more at McDonald's now. See what happens when you mess with the market?
These socialist ignoramuses never learn. They have zero understanding of how to spur the creation of wealth and prosperity in a society. Zero understanding of business, entrepreneurship, and risk taking. All they know how to do is misallocate taxpayer dollars and pass regulations to please activist groups, who are also economic ignoramuses.
I made it all the way to orientation years ago and decided not to go through with it. My mother was an RTO for years before she became a police officer.. she loved it. RTO’s communicated with the officers only.
What turned you off? $36k/yr jobs are hard to come by.
@@jeffreyb8770 rotating shifts, the micro managing effect, (which I get) it’s almost like you’re a cop. Great money, benefits but I realize it would be taxing. I in turn took a job at DPSS the welfare office for the County as an eligibility worker for 10 years.. STRESSFUL as hell..I left and went to the City
@@jeffreyb8770 60-100k for 911 operators. PSR I, II, and III
Wrong.
If u could work from home I would do it.
Give it to an AI, if a call needs a paramedic give it to a human. Like the dispatcher usually does.
But artificial intelligence was supposed to replace them
LA just hires who they want to hire.
AI
911 can u please hold . Music 🎼 next for 20 m 😅
it looks like this is a job for AI?
Hire ex felons who changed their life
Homeboy industries will fill in those jobs.
@@sgvproductionz2979 definitely would
Dispatchers probably got tired of people calling in saying, "Help, I'm in LA!!! Please get me outta here...!!!"
Why don't they sub it out to India. Do they really need to be located at the station.
Great idea!
@@SummerlinRealtorsure...
If you like simple solutions to complicated problems.
America is failing in this generation because in my generation we had basic medical training in middle school and in high school you have to pass the class too . They taught CPR and the Heimlick maneuver a long with a lot of normal medical emergency procedures that can be used at home but now in days they don’t teach that anymore you have to take a class to get a authentication that you completed the course in order to apply for a 911 dispatch but back in the 90s 80s 70s you only needed a high school diploma and you just took a test to see if you would pass the test . If you look at the requirements of what they need to make you qualify on your resume is all big degrees like background in nurse or criminal justice , psychology .. the list goes on so you really think people with that type of degree is going to apply as a 911 dispatcher they rather go do their degree job .
911 who dis?
AI can fix it
taylor swifts fault
Should of hired me when they had the chance! Now I do drugs and eat fast food.
With that mentality?
You dont make it past otj training. Especially not in a big city like LA..
@@user-gm4kv2my4u my dreams and aspirations died when my application was denied.
They aint gonna do anything. Who cares it's LA
They are making excuses now because i know people looking for jobs and can't find any at the moment
Apply for the position. They are really hurting for new personnel.
And yet we have very few if any applicants. We cant even get a decent amount of people for pre hire orientation - the only requirement for that is literally just to sign up online. We have shortages in ems and police too. I question how hard your friends are looking.
@@user-gm4kv2my4u well I'm looking but I'm not gonna jump into q job that does not pay more than where I work at because then I might as well stay with my company
get up, uh get get get down …911 a joke in your town!
Maybe if they didn't require you to be in Scientology's pocket they'd have more people apply.
It’s a gimmick. This is old news.
I would apply but they usually prefer bilingual meaning Spanish. So good luck Everyone
I know same but I’m not bilingual !
just get rid of the 911 system.
Maybe if the damn mayors were to start enforcing the law.
Enforce the law!!
Start arresting people that break the law!!
