Tammy Schulz has 20 years of law enforcement experience and 5 years in emergency preparedness. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice Management and a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Judson University. She is a certified D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) instructor.
She works with schools, libraries, day care centers and religious organizations to educate children, teens and adults on important health and safety topics.
She has taken her law enforcement experience and her passion for teaching to make a difference in her community. Her mission is to improve safety standards within her community using scenario based training exercises performed within the safe harbor of “TammyTown.”
Tammy Town was created in 2011, modeled after her hometown in Iowa. Tammy Town travels from town to town, to educate children, teens and adults how to keep themselves safe at home, in their community and to and from school.
Children take a trip through Tammy Town, a traveling “scenario” based” training town, geared to prepare children for encounters with strangers. Children learn about community helpers, how they can be utilized during an emergency by dialing 911.
During scenario based training exercises children learn to recognize people and places they can go to for help should a stranger ask them to go with them, help them find their dog, offer them a ride, or a gift.
Children will role play various scenarios, chosen randomly when they spin the 36” wheel, with fellow classmates. Children play the role of both student and community helper to help them understand what a community helper’s role is during an actual emergency.
Scenario based training is a necessary step up from lecture style courses in that it gives children a memory, a file in their memory cabinet, which will help them during an actual emergency.
Fear absent of planning creates panic. We take the panic away by teaching children what to do. Instead they will remember, “I’ve been here before.” They are trained to say no, walk away and tell someone they trust.”
This course is designed to keep children, teens and adults safe around railway crossings. Students learn facts about trains and the hazards that exist along railroad tracks. Specifically how long it takes for a train to stop, how size and weight effect the distance required for a train to stop and the effects of a heavier object on a lighter object.
Students will learn what traffic signs are posted in the community, when and where to cross the railroad tracks and what laws are in place to keep people safe around town and railway crossings.
Students will role play several safety scenarios geared to help them resist peer pressure or an impulse to save time by crossing in undesignated areas, or by walking on or along the railway tracks.
Children learn about the importance and proper use of safety equipment, hand signals and the rules of the road. Students reinforce their new skills with a bicycle road course.
Students learn why it is important to be aware of current weather conditions, the difference between watches and warnings, and the purpose of tornado sirens. They learn what to do if they hear the tornado siren, and what they can expect from 911.
