The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office is searching for dispatchers, and those who are interested can attend a dispatch career event on Thursday.

Officials say there is six to seven months of training required upon hire, which Macomb dispatch director Angela Elsey says is standard.

The new hires will then move onto call-taking training, fire and EMS dispatching, and police radio training where they begin dispatching law enforcement calls. It also includes a phase where they learn administrative duties.
