Dispatcher
Public Safety Dispatch consists of several dispatchers on rotating shifts providing twenty-four (24) hours, seven (7) days-a-week coverage. Their primary objectives include providing communications between all USD entities, patrol officers and department administrators in emergencies and non-emergencies between USD entities and City, County, State or Federal Agencies.
They are responsible for answering the non-emergency (619) 260-7777 and emergency (619) 260-2222 phone calls, and managing communications via the County and University radio systems.
Public Safety Dispatchers also monitor and provide support to the Security Camera Systems, Security and Fire Alarm Systems. When required, the Dispatcher on-duty can execute a mass notification message or alert in the event of Campus Emergency.
All Department activity is also monitored and recorded via an automated records management system.
