General Information
Action Summary The Rules Relating to Compulsory Minimum Training Standards for Dispatchers (6VAC20-60) identifies the categories of training for compulsory minimum training standards for dispatchers along with the information regarding training schools and the timeline for completing training, grading, and record keeping requirements. This regulatory action is the result of a periodic review. The substantive amendments to the regulation include requiring dispatcher academies to have course work approved by DCJS prior to the first scheduled class and enhancing training by requiring dispatchers complete in-service training. Additionally, revisions to the regulation remove dated language and add clarifying language where appropriate. The regulation identifies broad training categories. The specific performance outcomes, training objectives, criteria for testing, and the lesson plan guides are located on the DCJS website. A reference to the DCJS website has been added to the regulation to assist dispatchers in locating the Virginia Criminal Justice Services Training Manual and Compulsory Minimum Training Standards –Performance Outcomes for Dispatchers. DCJS will review and consider the appropriateness of setting a minimum number of training hours for basic dispatcher training.
