What to Expect

Joining San Andreas Communications means serving as the connection between the public and the emergency responders operating throughout San Andreas.

Communications personnel are responsible for receiving calls for service, gathering accurate information, coordinating Law Enforcement and Fire & EMS resources, maintaining unit status, conducting records checks, and keeping radio traffic organized during both routine operations and major incidents.

Successful applicants will complete department training before progressing into independent communications duties. Training may include call-taking, CAD operations, radio procedures, unit status management, emergency traffic, pursuit coordination, records checks, multi-agency incidents, and department policy.

San Andreas Communications values accuracy, composure, teamwork, professionalism, and quality roleplay. Dispatchers are expected to remain calm under pressure, communicate clearly, prioritize information appropriately, and support field personnel without unnecessarily controlling or interfering with scenes.

Communications personnel may have access to information not available to other characters. Members are expected to maintain strict separation between information obtained through Dispatch duties and information known by their other characters.

Promotion is based on demonstrated competency, professionalism, activity, reliability, leadership, training progress, and continued development — not simply time in rank.

Previous dispatch or FiveM experience is helpful but not required. We would rather train someone with strong communication skills and the right attitude than rely solely on previous experience.
