Dispatch here. Just another night listening to morons and trying to get them some help.

Also sitting next to a fine ass fellow dispatcher who I think likes me.

To answer your question OP, I got into dispatch to have a job that means something rather than the higher paying corporate shill job I left.

I stay for the pension.

cops make a lot in Canada. Last I heard they get over 100k after around the year 5 mark

>>17172846

Starting salary at my department is $72,000/yr

>>17172858

I am not in Canada though.

>>17172846
But it's 100k Canada.
Which is like 60k US.
Not that high really.

Shut the fuck up retard.

Shit man, cops where I'm at start around 42k a year. I make less as dispatch, but I work a ton of piss easy overtime. Literally no requirements to promote besides time working and general knowledge. Sit around and play 3ds while I rack up time. Go for my boss' job in a couple of years. Then 5 after that, get his bosses job. 116k salary.

Compare that to breaking my back for a fortune 50 company for 55k a year, think long term I made the correct decision.
