The Town of Oro Valley is looking for more people to become 911 operators and is offering incentives to join the team.
ORO VALLEY, Ariz. — It's a common scene on television — our favorite crime fighting or first responders team running to the emergency with 911 in their ears.
"TV makes this job look like a really crazy experience.. but it's not that," Lindsay Dorman, a 911 dispatcher for the Town of Oro Valley, said."It's a really rewarding experience.""Both my parents were police officers and I grew up in Oro Valley so I spent a lot of time in this department," she said.
Now, the town is looking for more people, who have prior experience as an operator, to join the team. "There's a $3000 signing bonus and 80 hours of vacation and 80 of sick day right off the bat," Ben Johnson, the communications supervisor for Oro Valley, said."Sometimes it's the things that the dispatchers in here figure out that lead to a person's safe return home," he said.
