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.
It is estimated that around 2,977 people lost their lives in the September 11 attacks in 2001.
Officially, as of July 2008, the death toll currently stands at 2,751 Victims, although it will most certainly increase as time goes on. While the majority of victims were killed that day, many others have died in the years after the attacks, mainly those in New York that day who have developed serious lung problems from the toxic dust inhaled from the World Trade Center collapse. Others have been diagnosed and continue to fight on, but for some it's only a matter of time.
Approximately 700-800 Canadians die each year from gunshot wounds, with suicides being the most common cause of these deaths. Gun-related fatalities in Canada are significantly lower than in the United States due to stricter gun control measures.
The proper name for a 911 operator is an Emergency Services Dispatcher. The job of the Emergency Services Dispatcher is to answer 911 calls and send the proper units out.

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.
