911 Dispatchers,
You already know how to do the job. The question is, what could your career look like somewhere new?Santa Clara PD is looking for experienced dispatchers to join our Communications team as Public Safety Dispatcher II.
We know change can be hard. You’ve built your career, your relationships, and your reputation where you are. Walking away from that takes a leap. But we’ve seen it happen. Many of our dispatchers came to us as laterals, including a recent one who spent more than 20 years at the same department before deciding it was time for something different. Maybe you’re ready for that change too.
We have a great group of people, supportive leadership, and an incredible community to serve. And because we’re Santa Clara, the job comes with some opportunities you won’t find everywhere, including working major concerts, sporting events, and other large scale events at Levi’s Stadium.
You don’t have to make a decision today, let’s just start with a conversation. Send us a message or check out the link in the comments. Your next chapter could start here.
