I would be the best police dispatcher because I will exceed the minimum qualification requirements that you look for when considering an applicant for hire. I adapt well to any work environment; I am results-oriented and ready to learn and master anything put in front of me. I enjoy a challenge and come prepared to work, and I will commit to being the best I can be for those in need.

Great! Consider changing your reply so you lead with the skills, qualities, and experience you bring to the table (instead of saying that you merely exceed the minimum qualifications, which is less powerful sounding). Really take advantage of this question to sell yourself and all you have to offer!
