Swing by the DeWitt County CENCOM office next Thursday night for an open house and learn how to become a dispatcher.

DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker is getting creative in trying to find potential manpower in that office and says it has been a struggle. Anyone interested can join come in, learn more about the job, and even have a job interview site on scene.

Sheriff Walker plans to have a couple of his staffers available to speak further about the jobs they are seeking to fill. He believes oftentimes, the roles of dispatchers and corrections can be overdramatized on TV. He points out they rarely deal with the issues of bigger jails or dispatch centers.

That open house again is next Thursday, April 3 at the DeWitt County Sheriff's office at 6 pm. Learn more by finding the DeWitt County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.
