Work environment

You don’t have to wear a uniform to make a difference!

Telecommunications Operators (9-1-1 Police Dispatcher) provide a critical service within the RCMP that support both public and officer safety through the provision of information and assistance.

Telecommunications Operators are the hidden back bone for the work that our police officers carry out in communities across Canada.

Telecommunications Operators work in Communications Centers that operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year which are located across the country in provincial, federal and municipal Communication Centres.

What does the work involve?
• Monitoring of police resources and systems with computer aided dispatch and monitoring systems
• Telecommunications Operators respond to public requests for police assistance, and many provide emergency services as a Public Safety Answering Point for 9-1-1.
• Telecommunications Operators often are the first point of contact with people who call the RCMP which gives you a chance to assist the public when they are facing a crisis and get them the resources and help they need.

• ~~Shift Work ~~ • The 9-1-1 Police Dispatch Centers operate 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You will be required to work irregular hours (mornings, evenings, weekends, and statutory holidays).

Intent of the process

Candidates who are qualified at the TCO-01 level and who are selected for the Telecommunications Operator Training Program will be appointed to a determinate (term) appointment at the TCO-01 group and level.

The intent of the process is to establish a pool of qualified applicants for the training program.
Positions may be staffed via specified term, acting appointments or assignments.

Only the TCO-01 (trainee) who successfully complete the training program will be placed in a pool of qualified TCO-02 which may be used to appoint determinately (term) or indeterminately (permanent) at the TCO-02 group and level (Salary: $68,287 to $83,086)

Should a Civilian Member (CM) be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to the Public Service (PS) category for the CM. Information regarding the CM appointment will be sent to all applicable candidates who are within the area of selection and participated in the advertised process.
