Most people wouldn't get this job straight out of high school as there's a great deal of maturity required to handle the situations 911 operators deal with, and the voice of a teenager doesn't inspire the kind of confidence and authority they require. It is not just emotionally tolling, many emergency workers suffer from compassion fatigue after a while which impacts all their relationships. Further the hours are rough with rotating days and nights in most cases (4 on days, 4 off, 4 on nights, kind of shifts) which is pretty traumatic to family life.

Also you have to pass this:

As a condition of employment, candidates must obtain and maintain an RCMP Reliability Status, which involves an in-depth background investigation. You must have been in Canada for a minimum of five (5) years. The background investigation will be performed to assist and determine suitability, reliability and security of the applicant being considered for employment with E-Comm. The investigation concentrates on, but is not limited to, previous employment, education, neighborhood inquiries, friends and associates, character references, personal finances, drug and alcohol use, and criminal activities
