Pleasant Grove Police Department's Official N.O.V.A Facebook page! Created for current students, parents, teachers, and your PGPD NOVA Instructors!
The N.O.V.A. program was created in March of 2003, by Police Sergent Charlie Wakamatsu; Dr. Paul Jenkins, a Child and Family Psychologist; and officers from the Orem Department of Public Safety in Utah. In April of 2004, N.O.V.A. Principles LC, was created to allow the N.O.V.A. Principles program to be implemented beyond the confines of the City of Orem.
The mission of N.O.V.A. Principles is: "Nurturing youth to seek out positive Opportunities, internalize good Values, and to accept Accountability for their choices in life. N.O.V.A. assists parents, families, and communities in protecting youth from the potentially devastating effects of illegal drugs, violence, and negative media exposure."
