While there are many dispatcher jobs that only require a high school diploma, the most serious
jobs will likely have more extensive requirements that will certainly involve training and
testing. A number of professions use dispatchers. Examples include emergency, police, fire and
medical services. Many jobs involve specialization such as suicide prevention
or dealing with threats. Many dispatchers have access to government databases. Depending
on the level of resoonsibility, some dispatcher jobs may require certification from a state,
county or local agency.
