“These public safety professionals training to become CHP dispatchers deserve our thanks as they embark upon their first responder-careers. They have a major role in public safety and emergency response,” said CSLEA President Alan Barcelona. “Their jobs can be extremely stressful, but at the same time very rewarding. I want each of them to know how accessible their union representatives and leaders are to them and to be aware of the work we do year-round to improve and maintain their salaries, benefits and workplace conditions and environment. Welcome to CSLEA and CHP-PSDA!”

The dispatchers will be working in communication centers located in Rancho Cordova, San Diego and Vallejo.
