We at the Hemet Police Department are proud to carry on the 100 year history of providing superior service and protection to our residents, merchants and visitors.  Today, we face significant challenges as we provide law enforcement services to an ever changing community, with fewer resources and reduced manpower.  I am proud to represent the fine men and women; sworn, civilian and volunteer, who make up this great department.

There is much talk about “community based policing” across America.  The reality is that the Hemet Police Department has always been a true community police department.  Our ranks are comprised of mostly Valley residents who have a personal stake in keeping our community safe.  As such, our strong commitment to addressing quality-of-life issues will continue to drive our decisions and deployment of resources.

Please enjoy our website, and let me know if there is anything we can do to improve it!
