“Our Public Safety Telecommunicators do more than just take calls,” stated Mayor Ganim. “Our first responders are in an incredibly important career field that not only benefits them and their families but impacts our residents as well. If you want to become a part of a team that helps save lives, I encourage everyone to apply to be a Public Safety Telecommunicator in Bridgeport.”
Acting Director of the Bridgeport Emergency Operations Center, Dave Reyes, stated, “We’ve chosen to waive the application fee for Bridgeport residents during this year’s application process. Because of this, we want Bridgeport residents to know that by choosing to be a Public Safety Telecommunicator in Bridgeport, they’re giving back to their communities in many ways than one. We also want individuals from other cities and towns to apply, knowing that Bridgeport can serve as the setting for an impactful career.”
