My hubbys a police officer. His dept he's on has a position open for a dispatcher! Hubby wants me to take it! I dont want it! I dont want to know what's goin on while they r working! I mean I know what they go thru and what may possibly happen, but I dont want to hear stuff goin on. I explained this to him but he still wants me to take the job! Not sure what to do! Would u take the job?
Answer:
I would not base your decision just on the fact that you do not want to know what is going on. I would decide based on if the job itself is something you would like. While it is true that you would get upset if something bad was happening isn't it also true that not knowing sometimes could be worse. The outcome is going to be the same whether you know about it right then or you find out later. Not to freak you out but say the worst case scenerio happens will it make a difference in the long run how you find out. He is in a similar situation, I mean as a police officer he may very well have to respond to a call involving a family member (car accident, death etc) but he takes that chance and doesn't let it deter him.
I am not trying to convince you to take it but just trying to get you to make the decision based on whether or not you would like the job. Of course if you do not think that you would be able to handle yourself and do your job if he was in a sticky situation then you probably shouldn't do it. If anything majoy was happening involving him likely you would be relieved fairly quickly by someone else. As one said they may purposely put you on different shifts so you would want to look into schedules to see how it would work out.
The decision is yours but I just wanted to offer another opinion.
Just think if you were the dispatcher you could tell him where to go and what to do all the time. :o)
Tell him that you need your space!!!!!!!! and so does heeee!!!!
Poloce men are cute, I like them!!!!!
Dancing porcupines!!!! what fuN!

Just say no. I'm a dispatcher and one of my coworkers has a husband (Cop) that works for another agency. She scans the channel all day to hear what's going on. If something major goes down, she automatically freaks. This is NOT the way I'd want to live.
Plus most agencies have a policy that married couples can not work the same shift. You'd never see your husband if he had to be on days and you on nights. Trust me, it's too much drama! Before I got married, I dated an officer and even that was tons of drama. It's impossible to leave work at work, when you both work for the same agency.
Depends on why he wants you to take the job. He might want you to know what's going on while he's at work so that you can learn to feel comfortable with what he does everyday. If he knows your afraid, making you a dispatcher might help soothe your fears.
No, I would not 24/7 can be a problem. If you already have a good job it should be very clear.
If not and you want same hours , that may be an advantage but the space issue will remain.
No, I would not take the job. Follow your strong instincts on this decision. You can trust them because you also know the situation.
