Welcome to Logan, UT

Juvenile

School Resource Officers (SRO's) are assigned to each of the schools in Logan City. Their primary goal is to provide a safe and secure learning environment for every student. These officers create and deliver educational presentations to the students which are geared toward the development of positive life skills as well as respect for our local and state laws.

N.O.V.A. is a 13-week program taught at the fifth-grade level by the Logan City Police. A 4-week N.O.V.A. program is taught at Mount Logan Middle School for the 7^th and 8th-grade students. The N.O.V.A mission is “nurturing youth to seek out positive opportunities, internalize good values, and accept accountability.”

During the N.O.V.A program, students learn five core principles that will help them be successful and positive leaders in their communities. These five core principles are Accountability, Positivity, Knowledge, Work, and Respect. Students also learn to avoid harmful substances and to make good choices that will increase their opportunities as they grow and go through life.

School Resource Officers spend additional time with the students in the classroom, the lunchroom, the hallways, and out on the playground. These interactions build a relationship between the officers and the students that far outlast the time students spend in the program.

Cache Valley is growing quickly! With that growth, we recognize that gang-related problems have become more frequent. Our department-wide philosophy in relation to all crime is a "zero tolerance" approach. With that in mind, a gang unit was formed which includes all of the SRO's. This enhances the opportunity for officers to work together in the sharing of information, to speedily identify and solve gang-related trends and/or problems. We believe that establishing a focus on prevention and education will be the key to successfully prohibiting gangs from taking a stronghold in our community. In support of this philosophy, classes on gang-related problems are available to any interested group. We solicit each and every citizen to acquire knowledge and become an active participant in the improvement of the community. Through these combined efforts, each citizen can be a beneficiary of the positive changes that will ensure that Logan City and Cache Valley remain safe and secure.
