AUSTIN (KXAN) — Help is wanted across central Texas for the people often called the first-first responders.
The Austin Police Department is trying to fill 20 openings at its emergency communications center. Twelve of those vacancies are for 911 operators, while the other eight are for police dispatchers.
“The jobs they do, both dispatcher and 911 operator, it’s very difficult,” Lt. Kenneth Murphy said. “It’s stressful. However, it’s also very rewarding.”
