This one is personal. Looking for an important career? One where you’ll save lives? Dallas Police Department is hiring 9-1-1 call takers.
I can tell you from personal experience how important this job is. When my husband suddenly stopped breathing, I couldn’t get through to 9-1-1.
I was on hold for 20 minutes frantically doing CPR. By the time paramedics were contacted and arrived, Brian was dead. The 9-1-1 call center was understaffed and hundreds of calls and re-dials stacked up.
As a 9-1-1 call taker in a fully staffed center, you could be part of the solution. The hiring event is going on TODAY, July 9, until 7 p.m.
