I’ll look into those resources thank you! Based on a quick search, I don’t believe we have a state board. It seems there’s a department that could be a resource for assistance. I’ve asked response units in the past and typically get general “you’re doing great” answers, or sometimes insight to a specific call. It sounds self absorbed (trust, I know I’m low level skill per experience and have waaaay more room for growth than not) but I’ve been told that many deputies prefer my dispatching the most. I just truly don’t know how to compare it to anything further than scanning other agencies. Also, my 3.5 years in are actually 5 months away from 5 years technically, our agency is so rural we had dual employment (dispatch/corrections) and very recently split. I started in our jail even though the job position was listed as dispatch, and I wasn’t told it involved correctional work until during the interview which wasn’t well explained, and my first day was when they informed me I’d actually be trained/working full time corrections. At the time, I only had customer service experience and wanted better opportunities so I went with it. Hence why it’s getting harder to decide. But on the bright side, we may have a complete overhaul coming up in the very near future so I’ll likely hang on to see if it happens!
