NOVA PD and Student Life Host Successful VIN Etching Event

November 6, 2023 / ICYMI (In Case You Missed It)

The NOVA Police Department and NOVA Student Life would like to thank everyone who attended our recent free VIN etching event. Members from the NOVA community, faculty, staff and students came out and had their vehicle windshields etched by NOVA Police officers and Virginia State Police to help better protect themselves from auto theft. 

The event was very successful, and we have already received requests to host another in the spring. Please look for spring dates and participating campuses in 2024. If you have any questions, please contact Lt. Tony Ong at TOng2@nvcc.edu.
