Security Dispatcher Jobs in New York

A Security Dispatcher plays a crucial role in the security industry, functioning as the primary point of contact for security personnel during emergencies and routine operations. Their responsibilities include dispatching security officers to incidents, monitoring alarm systems, coordinating responding units, and maintaining communication logs. They may also be required to use surveillance systems, liaise with law enforcement agencies and emergency services, and report any suspicious activities or threats. They are integral in ensuring the safe and secure operations of businesses, institutions, or properties that depend on security services.

Important skills for a Security Dispatcher include strong communication (both written and oral), multitasking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. They must also have the ability to remain calm under pressure and have excellent situational awareness. Familiarity with security systems and software is also a prerequisite, along with basic computer competency. Certification in emergency response and a background in law enforcement can be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Security Dispatcher, an individual may have roles such as a Security Officer, Security Supervisor, or even a Customer Service Representative in a security-sensitive environment, to gain the necessary experience and understanding of the sector.
