KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — The Upper Merion Township Police Department is opening recruitment for one of the most critical and high-pressure roles in modern law enforcement, seeking a new Police Telecommunicator to serve as the lifeline between the public and emergency responders.
Police telecommunicators are the first voice residents hear in moments of crisis, handling 911 calls, dispatching police officers and coordinating real-time responses that can mean the difference between life and death. Township officials said the position is vital to keeping Upper Merion’s fast-growing community safe and responsive in emergencies.
The department is looking for a “highly skilled and dedicated” professional who can manage emergency calls, relay accurate information to officers in the field, and maintain calm under extreme pressure while providing clear and compassionate communication to residents in distress.
Applicants are being directed to review a detailed job announcement in the department’s official recruitment packet, which outlines specific duties, qualifications, training requirements and application instructions. The township said the role offers an opportunity to work directly inside the heart of local law enforcement, supporting officers and protecting the community from inside the communications center.
Officials encouraged interested candidates to apply promptly, noting that the position plays a central role in daily public safety operations.
“Don’t miss this opportunity to join our team and make a difference in the lives of our citizens,” the department said in announcing the opening.
