"In addition to providing basic policies and procedures for team setup, the class exposes participants to professionals in other public safety disciplines. Ray says, 'What’s eye-opening is when you get fire, EMS, law enforcement and dispatch all in the same room, it shows that it’s not just you, but it’s a global issue in all of our industries.' This breaks the stigma and helps participants understand the scope of the problem."

For Lydia, the best part of working at NDPTC is the people. Over the years, she has built lasting friendships with colleagues who understand the daily chaos of keeping the centers running. Whether celebrating successes, working through challenges, or sharing a laugh along the way, that sense of camaraderie is what makes the work meaningful for her. One of Lydia’s most memorable experiences was getting hands-on training at a consortium partner’s facility in Pueblo, Colorado, where she quite literally helped light a train on fire—an unforgettable example of the real-world training NDPTC partners deliver. She also values seeing firsthand the unique work each consortium partner does, which has deepened her appreciation for the broader mission. Outside of work, Lydia is a prolific crocheter who has made hundreds of creations for friends, family, and coworkers, and during bon dance season, much of her free time is spent dancing, teaching others, and supporting her son Ronin as he prepares for performances.
