The income varies dramatically depending on which part of the country you live in. I can speak for the West Virginia area... at the more populated counties (Kanawha, Putnam, Cabell, Mon) comm centers the hourly rate varies from about $11-14 for a new dispatcher. With a lot of overtime, it is easy to make around $40k annually. A lot of the smaller counties pay much less, around $7-8/hr.

In Tampa, it depends on your level. A starting dispatcher would be called a communications tech 1. There pay grade is a little lower, but it start out around $12 an hour. Once you get off of probation, and get your first promotion, you will go up to around $15. If you become a trainer, your pay will jump up again. Also, each year you get two raises. One is a cost of living raise, and the other is a merit raise. The merit raise is based off of your annual evaluation.

Can you dial 911 to get help for a person who is out of state My cellphone is CA number but I am visiting PA when I dial 911 in PA does it go to a CA dispatcher or PA dispatcher?

the 911 dispatcher your call is routed to is determined by which tower picks up your call. so any cell phone dialed in PA would route through the nearest tower and to a local dispatcher. some areas route cell calls to the highway patrol dispatcher but you'll get help locally either way.
