In this episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service, Nikki sits down with Lori Bailey, an Inspector with the City of Calgary Transit’s Community Outreach Team, whose career journey is a powerful example of perseverance and reinvention. Lori shares her path from federal corrections, to teaching at Bow Valley College, to serving in her current role supporting Peace Officers and vulnerable populations on Calgary Transit—while also opening up about her own battle with PTSD and earning her Master’s degree at 52.

Nikki and Lori dig into the realities of working in male-dominated environments, the hypervigilance that can follow corrections officers long after shifts end, and the importance of support systems and self-care for anyone in first responder careers. Lori also offers grounded, practical advice for those considering a career in federal corrections and preparing for the challenges of the job.

Don’t miss this insightful conversation—and be sure to check out upcoming training resources and workshops designed to support the mental health and growth of first responders.
