NOVA Police Carry and Are Trained in Use of Naloxone

November 10, 2023 / General NOVA News

Deaths from Fentanyl, a potent and extremely deadly synthetic opioid, are on the rise in our region and nationwide. NOVA police officers are trained and ready to respond to an overdose situation by administering Naloxone, a non-addictive drug used to effectively treat opiate overdoses. NOVA officers carry a minimum of two doses of Naloxone while on duty and are ready to assist. Naloxone is also located at every NOVA Campus Police Office.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact NOVA PD Lieutenant Tony Ong at TOng2@nvcc.edu.
