SUMMARY:
The Emergency Communications Department requested for the Human Resources Department to conduct a review of the Communication Dispatcher I/II classification titles. The review process determined a retitle of Communication Dispatcher I/II to Emergency Communication Dispatcher I/II was appropriate.

As part of the review process, while updating the classification specifications, it was determined that retitling the classifications would more accurately reflect the scope, complexity, and work performed.
