911 dispatcher pay in more states, as we collect the data
This page will compare 911 dispatcher pay across states. For now California is the only state with data on the site. Each state publishes local government pay differently, so we add states one at a time, after checking their files. Georgia is next.
Until then, the California pages have everything we've published so far: every employer with 5 or more dispatchers, compared statewide.

Take-home is total wages, overtime included, of dispatchers who worked roughly the full year: those whose regular pay reached at least 90% of the bottom of their official range.
