The Life of an OPP Communications Operator

10-5 - The Official Podcast of the OPP Association

Communications Operators Lisa Darch and Melissa Van Erp from the Provincial Communications Centre (PCC) in Orillia join the 10-5 Podcast to discuss their roles in the Ontario Provincial Police. This includes how they became a Comm Operator, why they choose this career, “burnout” on the job, staffing, career opportunities, and the new “Crisis Call Diversion Program” that has placed mental health workers in OPP PCCs.
