📰YORK COUNTY | U.S. Senator Angus King takes a tour: ‘This is the heart of public service training’

“This is one of the most important facilities in the state of Maine right now"

By Tammy Wells, York County Government media, Contributing Writer

May 28, 2026, If public service agencies have trained together, when bad things happen that require a response by first responders – and they do – everyone is on the same page. They know each other, they’ve had the same instruction, and they can work together seamlessly.

U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) stopped by the York County Regional Training Center Wednesday, May 27 for a tour, to see firsthand the facility York County government built largely with federal ARPA funds, county money, grants, and Congressionally Designated Spending that makes exactly that sort of training possible.

And he liked what he saw.

“This is the heart of public service training,” said King of the new facility that is unique in Maine – a place where police, firefighters, EMS, corrections staff and dispatchers can get the training they need to begin a career or continue the career they’re already engaged in by keeping up with required certifications.

There has been a high demand for public safety personnel across the country for the last several years – there are not enough to go around – but that is changing as more people are able to be trained.
