Program Description
Initial and ongoing training is an essential component of a 911 dispatcher’s career. And the most significant training often occurs within a 911 dispatcher certification program, either through the state, through a national association, or through a combination of the two.
While Colorado currently does not require certification to work as an emergency dispatcher, completing the Fundamentals of Public Safety Dispatch (PSD) certificate will assist students in understanding the foundations of the criminal justice system, policing, stress management, communication and various components of understanding human behavior.
