Active Listening
The Steps to Be An Active Listener
Whether it's the radio, telephone, coworkers, officers, or others, we are constantly listening to someone either for entertainment, information, or learning. It's important to be able to communicate with others, but the most important part of communication is listening. In order to provide accurate information and understand others, we must be able to listen and understand. This course covers the listening process, barriers to the process, and ways to improve listening skills.

About Impact Dispatch
Founded in 2018, Impact Dispatch was created for dispatchers, by dispatchers with one clear purpose: to provide affordable, high-quality training and professional development for public safety communications professionals and agencies of every size.
We understand the realities of working behind the headset because our training is built from real-world experience. We also understand that training budgets can look very different from one communications center to another. A small or rural agency should not have to sacrifice quality simply because it does not have the training budget of a larger organization.
That's why affordability and accessibility are at the heart of Impact Dispatch.
Our training is designed to be practical, relevant, and applicable to the challenges communications professionals face every day. From foundational dispatcher skills and critical incident response to leadership, employee development, and advanced professional growth, we are committed to supporting communications professionals throughout their careers.
Impact Dispatch is more than a collection of online courses. Our goal is to help elevate the profession by giving dispatchers the knowledge, tools, resources, and confidence they need to grow—not only as telecommunicators, but as public safety professionals and future leaders.
Whether we are serving one dispatcher, a small communications center, or a large agency, our commitment remains the same:
Quality training should be within reach for everyone.
Created for Dispatchers. By Dispatchers. Built for the Profession.
Keep Learning. Keep Growing. Keep Making an Impact.
