Let NOVA Police Empower You!
NOVA police keep our campuses safe and secure through proactive patrol and effective response to concerning behaviors. We also conduct an active outreach program that empowers you to play a positive role in maintaining your own safety, both here on campus as well as in the community. These 30- to 60-minute classes provide life-skills and coping mechanisms and are applicable to the classroom (e.g., Administration of Justice, Psychology, Political Science, Business and English), clubs and division and workplace meetings.
