NOVA Police to Offer Back-to-College Safety Training

NOVA Police want to empower you and your loved ones to remain safe at college–whether you’re enrolled at NOVA or some other institution–and anytime you are out in public. Therefore, we are offering an in-person and virtual two-hour training session on active shooter response, conflict de-escalation, tourniquet application and staying safe on the street.

In-person training will be conducted at the following campuses:

• Monday, August 2, 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., Alexandria Campus, Bisdorf (AA)-196
• Tuesday, August 3, 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., Annandale Campus, CA-302
• Wednesday, August 4, 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., Manassas Campus, Howsmon (MH) Auditorium
• Thursday, August 5, 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., Loudoun Campus, LC-209

Virtual training will be held via Zoom on Saturday, August 7, from 10 a.m. until noon.

This training is open to all faculty, staff and students, whether or not a part of the NOVA community, along with their friends and families. All attendees will receive handouts with key summary information.

Please RSVP to novapdoutreach@nvcc.edu and state whether you will attend in person (and at which campus) or virtually. Upon receiving your reservation, we will provide a Zoom link.
