Can the dispatcher test requirement ever be waived?
A.The assessment of Verbal, Reasoning, Memory, and Perceptual abilities cannot be waived, per se. However, a valid POST Public Safety Dispatcher Basic Certificate, or successful completion of a (80-hour minimum) POST-certified Public Safety Dispatcher Course and previous completion of probation as a public safety dispatcher are sufficient to indicate that the candidate has demonstrated job-related verbal, reasoning, memory and perceptual abilities.
