MiraCosta College is accepting applications for temporary, hourly police dispatchers/record technicians to substitute as needed on the Oceanside Campus to backfill for dispatchers during sick leave, vacation, or training hours. Substitutes may initially work 40 hours per week until trained, then would work as needed 18 to 40 hours per week anytime from Monday through Saturday, between the hours of 7:00 am and 11:00 pm. The department will review applications in the pool as needed. Applications are valid through June 30, 2027, at which time they will expire. A new posting for this pool will be posted on July 1, 2027, and those still interested will need to reapply at that time.
