WHAT WE’RE ABOUT

Over the past 38 years I’ve developed broad expertise in Crime Prevention, emphasizing two areas:

(1) Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and

(2) Personal Safety.

Narrower professional niches within those fields have included school safety, shelters and residential spaces, outreach, home visitations and homelessness.

Much of my work has included extensive research and writing.

— Tod Schneider

TESTIMONIALS

Tod Schneider is one of the nation’s most knowledgeable experts in the field of crime prevention through environmental design for the school setting. I have had the great fortune to work on several projects with Tod and feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from this true master. Tod is also an excellent presenter who has a heart of gold, he is truly one of the nicest people I have ever met and a true gift to the field of school safety.

– Michael Dorn, Executive Director, Safe Havens International

I've worked with Tod Schneider on school safety issues for over a decade and regard him as the best school safety expert in the United States. His depth of experience, accessibility, reliability, and easy-going manner make working with him productive and fun. He is also author of the most comprehensive publications on school building safety technology extant today (see www.ncef.org). I recommend no one more highly than Tod.

- William A. Brenner, FAIA Former director, National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities, and Vice President, National Institute of Building Sciences

There are no dinosaurs. A meteor hit the earth and made a hole and they all fell in.

- 8 year old girl, Klamath Falls library

I have now had the opportunity to work with Tod Schneider on two separate projects involving dozens of schools in four counties in western Oregon over a period of years. His school safety assessment work has been of great value to our schools. He takes the time to understand each school environment and works closely with the building administrator. The reports that Tod produces are equally pragmatic and creative, very user-friendly, and consistently helpful in supporting schools as they take steps in becoming even safer places for children.

- Kathryn A. Henderson, Project Manager, Linn County Safe Schools Project, Linn Benton Lincoln ESD

Dear Tod, I love you and your stories. I am so happy that you are here.

- Elowyn, age 7

When it comes to Confrontation Management training, Tod’s trainings are consistently informative and entertaining; we keep bringing him back for repeat staff trainings. I recommend him without reservation!

- Chuck Hauk, Housing Director, Housing And Community Services Agency of Lane County (HACSA)

Our work centers on assessing community conditions, and empowering neighbors to advocate for healthy spaces for youth and their families. Tod worked with us on a two-year project in an underserved area in Eugene, OR. The project featured a special emphasis on the park and other public spaces in the neighborhood. Tod’s ability to incorporate crime prevention and public safety best practice with residents’ feedback, concerns and desires for improvement was exceptional, and resulted in moving the project forward on time, achieving excellent results.

- Laurie Trieger, Executive Director, Lane Coalition for Healthy Active Youth (LCHAY)

Dear Tod, Thank you for all your great stories and amazing poems. I really liked them a lot. You made us all laugh!

- Malachi, age 7.

Dear Tod, Don’t pass the notes when the teacher is looking.

- Anna, age 7.

Sharks can’t talk.

- 9 year old girl, Malin, Oregon library
