At the NYPD there are two titles: Police Communications Technician,

and Principle Police Communications Technician. The first are

dispatchers/call takers. The second is supervisory and administrative.

[Guest guest]

I think you'll find them all.

Over the years I've been.

Radio Operator, Dispatcher, Dispatcher I, Dispatcher II, Telecommunicator I,

Telecommunicator II, Telecommunicator III, Telecommunications Operator, and

Telecommunications Specialist V. And on a few occasions " Hey You " .

My official title is Telecommunications Operator II.

Unofficially, my title is " gopher " or " !@#$%^, "

depending on the type of day they're having and what

they want.

NYPD has three titles:

Police Communications Technician (PCT)

Supervising Police Communications Technician (SPCT)

Principal Police Communications Technician (PPCT)

These are all civil service titles and the PPCT title has two upgrade levels :

PPCT Level 2 ( Assistant Platoon Commander)

PPCT Level 3 ( Platoon Commander)

The PPCT Level 3 is responsible for all calltaking and dispatch operations in

the PSAC working under a Platoon Duty Captain. Of the 10 PPCT-3 slots that the

Communciations Section has, nine are assigned to the Platoon Commanders office

and one is in an Admin Role. The PPCT-2 supports the Platoon Commander and also

is assigned to some Admin positions.

We have Sheriff's Dispatch Assistants (calltakers), Sheriff's

Dispatchers, Sheriff's Senior Disptachers (trainers), and Sheriff's

Communication Supervisors ... all of our titles reference the sheriff's

department (for which we work and are paid by) but we dispatch for

probation department, animal control, parks department and a small

police department.

Since the arrival New Jersey's statewide enhanced 9-1-1 14 years ago the title

of dispatcher was replaced by telecommunicator and since I am the oldest (with

31 years on the job) my title is senior telecommunicator which brings about $2

an hour more than the others. That's the official title.

Director of Communications

Telecommunicator III
