DISPATCH Monthly is not a trade publication. Instead, we publish the news that dispatchers, supervisors and managers need to help keep their comm center operating effectively and efficiently. We tell the stories-good and bad-that affect recruiting and hiring, training, working conditions, policy and procedure, pay and compensation, discipline and many other issues. We've been publishing since October, 1987--15 years!

Our Publication

We don't have an editorial calendar-the events of the world dictate what stories we print and when they appear. Our stories are timely, so our readers find them compelling and informative. At the same time, each story presents a lesson from which our readers can measure their own skills and talents, and their comm center's performance. This allows our readers to set goals for improvement in all areas of their profession.

We gather each month's news from sources around the world, supplemented by correspondents who are in the public safety profession. We create infographics and collect photographs to explain complex stories. Our story workflow and publication deadlines allow us to publish the news just after it happens--some stories appear just two weeks after the event.

Our Readers

Each one of our subscribers pays to receive our publication--we don't offer "qualified" or free subscriptions. This loyal and long-term readership make us the largest, paid circulation publication in the public safety dispatching field. We have many multi-copy subscribers, including public safety agencies that purchase individual copies for each of their dispatchers.

Our subscribers include employees of virtually every major company that markets public safety equipment and services. Why do they subscribe?
