Overview

You will apply your real-world expertise to help train next-generation AI systems by analyzing and triaging simulated incident requests. This role is open to dispatchers from any public safety domain, including 911, police, ambulance, emergency, and fire services. No AI background is needed. Your domain knowledge and decision-making are what matter.

- 1Evaluate incoming incident or service requests and assign priority levels based on established criteria.
- 2Direct requests to the right resources or agencies through simulated radio, phone, or digital chat channels.
- 3Keep accuracy and composure while managing several communication channels at once, ensuring critical details are passed on without delay.
- 4Follow standardized protocols and checklists to deliver consistent, protocol-driven responses in every scenario.
- 5Record scenarios and your decision-making steps to create valuable input for AI training datasets.
- 6Share insights on workflow improvements, escalation procedures, and multi-channel coordination for public safety settings.

- 3Strong verbal and written communication skills, particularly in high-tempo situations.
- 4Hands-on experience with radio, phone, and digital chat communication platforms.

Who Should Apply
This role fits current or former public safety dispatchers who have worked in 911, police, ambulance, emergency, or fire services and are comfortable with radio, phone, and chat systems. The ideal candidate can triage requests under pressure and follows standardized protocols without hesitation. It is less suitable for people without direct dispatch or coordination experience in a public safety setting. A common reason candidates get rejected is failing to show specific examples of handling multiple channels at once or applying escalation procedures. Another is not demonstrating how they document decisions and actions in real incidents.
