The initial three week service desk training session begins at the California Highway Patrol
Academy in West Sacramento or at the Clark Training Center in Riverside, California. Approximately
four months later, candidates return for two weeks of radio training. Candidates
receive personalized training, with an instructor/student ratio of 1:3. Training will
include some of the following:
- Aural Brevity (codes, phonetic alphabet, etc.)
- Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)
- Officer Safety
- Missing Persons
- Domestic Violence
- Wellness Management
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- Professionalism and Ethics
- Critical Incidents
- Civil Liability
- Dispatching Procedures
- Criminal Justice System
Our Dispatch Academy is certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST).
It is the initial experience at the Academy that gives new employees a sharper focus and better
understanding of the instructional sessions. The radio training provides instructors a means of
assessment and reinforcement of the employee's skills from the initial training. Additionally, the
radio training provides employees the necessary tools to begin radio training at their assigned
communication center.
