Police Communications Operators are uniformed civilian employees who work in the new, state-of-the-art, Anne Arundel County Police 911 Center. They are responsible for the expedient and effective handling of thousands of calls for police/emergency service in Anne Arundel County. Police Communications Operators must be able to multi-task, work well under pressure and excel in a fast-paced environment. Proficient computer and typing skills are necessary.

Police Communications Operators fall into two categories: Call Takers and Dispatchers. The dispatcher position requires further training.

Graduation from high school or GED; one (1) or more years of experience in an emergency services environment or progressively responsible multi-faceted clerical work; and skill in data entry keyboard functions.

Glen Burnie High School Students Only: The required experience may be substituted with the successful completion of the County approved Police Communications Call Taker Training course offered by Anne Arundel County Public Schools (Glen Burnie High School). This class is specifically for Glen Burnie High School students and is not open to the public.

We are now accepting applications for 911 Dispatcher (Police Communications Operator II).
