ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Potential career opportunities are available at the Abilene Police Department for telecommunicators.
The dispatch department is currently operating with only about 30 people including supervisors, which Communications Manager Becky Mackiewicz says can be taxing, especially in situations when the city is experiencing emergencies like grass fires or the May 19 tornado.
APD is hoping to hire an additional eight dispatchers to reach full staffing, and while Mackiewicz says the job can be hard at times, it’s the feeling of being the first first responder that keeps them coming back.
