Apparently you don't understand what "high risk" means.

EXACTLY!!!!! PERFECTLY SAID!!! To add...when you dispatchers leave to go home, you are a CIVILIAN and you are NOT at risk of being targeted just bc of the uniform you have on AND/OR the vehicle you are driving!! So STRESS is your reasoning for “deserving” high risk pay?!?! ARE YOU CRAZY!! If that’s the case then a doctor should get high risk pay, a lawyer should get high risk pay, etc. Hell!! TEACHERS should get “high risk” pay before you!! There’s a BIG difference between “high risk jobs” and STRESSFUL jobs!!!! Have a little bit more intelligence please!

1121.0515 Special Risk Class.—
(1) ESTABLISHMENT OF CLASS.—A separate class of membership within the Florida Retirement System, to be known as the “Special Risk Class,” is established to recognize that persons employed in certain categories of law enforcement, firefighting, criminal detention, and emergency medical care positions are required as one of the essential functions of their positions to perform work that is physically demanding or arduous, or work that requires extraordinary agility and mental acuity, and that such persons, because of diminishing physical and mental faculties, may find that they are not able, without risk to the health and safety of themselves, the public, or their coworkers, to continue performing such duties and thus enjoy the full career and retirement benefits enjoyed by persons employed in other membership classes and that, if they find it necessary, due to the physical and mental limitations of their age, to retire at an earlier age and usually with less service, they will suffer an economic deprivation therefrom. To address the peculiar and special problems of this class of employees, a class of retirement membership is established that awards more retirement credit per year of service than that awarded to other employees; however, nothing contained herein shall require ineligibility for Special Risk Class membership upon reaching age 55.

*** CRITERIA.—A member, to be designated as a special risk member, must meet the following criteria:
(a) Effective October 1, 1978, the member must be employed as a law enforcement officer and be certified, or required to be certified, in compliance with s. 943.1395; however, sheriffs and elected police chiefs are excluded from meeting the certification requirements of this paragraph. In addition, the member’s duties and responsibilities must include the pursuit, apprehension, and arrest of law violators or suspected law violators; or as of July 1, 1982, the member must be an active member of a bomb disposal unit whose primary responsibility is the location, handling, and disposal of explosive devices; or the member must be the supervisor or command officer of a member or members who have such responsibilities. Administrative support personnel, including, but not limited to, those whose primary duties and responsibilities are in accounting, purchasing, legal, and personnel, are not included;

The cake eating cows believe they deserve high risk. What a joke. Why not ask for a fat raise while your at it. Anyone who seriously believes a dispatcher should be in a high risk class is delusional
