What a crock of s**t!!!!! There are thousands of people more dewerving than them!!!! LEOs, FFs, EMTs, military personnel...the list goes on and on. If they think so highly of protesters, I hope people protest their decision and cancel their subscriptions to Time!!!
By the way...Merry Christmas and a safe, happy and healthy New Year to all.

Thanks for the quick reply and clearing that up for me.

One of the first things you could do is sign up for the Elevator Rescue course offered by NYS. Along with that, to become proficient on your specific make/model elevator, find out which manufacturer made it and once it's installed, have one of their repair technicians go through emergency procedures with you such as locating and lockout/tagout the power source, whether the elevator is cable or hydraulic and how it operates, gaining access to the elevator car, manually opening the doors, etc.
I have found they are more than happy to help you because if you force entry inot the elevator and screw it up, it's more headaches for them. Also see if they'll give you the correct elevator drop key. If you only have two elevators in your district, no need to buy the entire set.
As for in service training, at minimum you can do a powerpoint and have the tech show you around, but you should also have him let you do hands on with the actual elevator car.
As someone else mentioned, Mike Dragonetti runs an excellent elevator rescue class as well.
