Duties

Who are we and what do we do?
The Ontario Operational Communication Centre (OCC) is the main hub for all things related to police dispatching, security monitoring, day-to-day officer operations, and connection between resources. This means that we take care of 9-1-1 calls in relation to our jurisdictions, provide assistance to the public and our officers on emergency and non-emergency matters, and much more. We are the 24/7 communications support for the National Capital Region, as well as the entirety of Ontario.

What will you be doing?
As a telecommunications operator, you will be responsible for carrying out the daily operational duties of the OCC which can vary from regular police dispatching, to answering emergency and non-emergency calls and creating files, to status keeping officers on the road and providing them with anything they may need. You will have access to various systems, applications and databases that will provide a variety of information, and will communicate with many internal (within RCMP) and external (outside RCMP) partners.

Why you will love working with us:
Working at the OCC as a telecommunications operator means you are a part of the bigger RCMP family. As you are usually the first point of contact that the public has with the RCMP and the lifeline for many officers on the road, you are rewarded with a sense of importance and support to those who need it. You will develop communication, multi-tasking, and technological skills, as well as inter-personal and professional relationships. Throughout your life with the OCC, there are always opportunities to grow and courses/training to attend and develop yourself further.
