About the Dispatchers

The CCC employs 4 full-time dispatchers and 4 part-time dispatchers who are all highly trained in emergency call-taking and dispatching. Three of the Canfield police officers are also cross-trained as dispatchers. One dispatcher staffs the CCC on each shift, however, two dispatchers are scheduled during busy times (i.e. Monday through Friday, 4^th of July, Canfield Fair and OVI checkpoints). 

New dispatchers must complete a 40-hour Basic Telecommunicator course and other courses, such as: Law Enforcement Dispatch, Fire Service Dispatch, Emergency Medical Dispatch, Domestic Violence call-taking, Stress Identification & Management, Cultural Diversity Awareness, Blood borne Pathogens, CPR, and Telephone Etiquette. Dispatchers are also provided with at least 16 hours of continuing education each year to include such topics as: weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, assertive communication skills, and a variety of dispatch, law enforcement, and fire department topics. In addition, each dispatcher has extra training in their area of expertise, such as: records management, training of new hires, workplace development, ergonomics, statewide/national computer terminal administration, computer software administration, hostage negotiation, emergency medical dispatch quality assurance, crime analysis, and emergency medical technology. Each dispatcher is a State of Ohio Notary and a Deputy Clerk of Canfield Mayor’s Court and Mahoning County Court.
