911 is calling. Will you answer?

​Minnesota's 911 dispatchers answered more than 2.85 million calls in 2022. They are there to answer your call on your worst day, but now they need your help. If you have an interest in public safety, consider a career as a dispatcher.

We're looking for Minnesotans of every background who have​ an interest in serving their community at one of 103 911 dispatch centers across the state. If you're searching for a calling, this could be the career for you.
