Anna Maria Students answering the Call for help through 911 Dispatch Training

Anna Maria College was the first four-year college in the state to offer 911 dispatch training to students. Since 1990, Anna Maria College has been at the forefront of training new generations of leaders who serve as the first line of public safety even before the first responders arrive.

The 911 dispatch training on campus is free and open to any Anna Maria students interested in the field, regardless of major. This year’s annual training took place during Spring Break with 13 students completing five days of in-class training under the instruction of telecommunicator instructor Tim Buckley followed by two days of training in a dispatch center where students interact with the equipment they will be using in the role. After completing the Association of Public Safety Officers Public Safety Training, students receive a dispatch certification which opens doors to new career opportunities.

In addition to offering free dispatch training, Anna Maria College is officially partnering with the City of Worcester’s Department of Emergency Communications & Management resulting in internships and part-time employment opportunities for Anna Maria students at the dispatch center. Read More…
