Officer Gary Schultz
As a 1992 graduate of Sheboygan South High
School, he continued to further his education at
Lakeshore Technical College (LTC-Cleveland, WI).
As a licensed Emergency Medical Technician of 18 years, Officer Schultz has used this education in his work
as a Captain of the First Responders (Brass Division) at Kohler Company
for 14 years, volunteering with the
Emergency Response Team with the American Red Cross, and then again as health director at Camp Evelyn.
With the economy falling and the workloads dropping at the factory, Officer Schultz saw an opportunity
to return to further his education once again. Officer Schultz graduated with an Associate Degree in Criminal
Justice and completed the recruit academy at Lakeshore Technical College, Cleveland, WI.
Officer Schultz
started with the Washington Island Police Department in June of 2009. To get more involved with the community,
Officer Schultz has continued to practice as an EMT-B and is the Crew Chief for Emergency Services of Door County - Washington Island station. When Officer
Schultz is not on duty you can usually find him outdoors with his family, motorcycling, hunting, or running
his kids around the island. He loves to travel with his family and see the United States. “The
island has welcomed our family with open arms and helped make it our home. We have enjoyed meeting the people
from the island and learning what this island has to offer. I get the privilege to work and serve, where everyone
else wants to visit and go on vacation. Every time I drive
on this island, I think to myself how lucky we are to live
and work in such a beautiful place” – Officer Gary L. Schultz
