Welcome to the Hemet Police Department’s webpage!

On behalf of the entire department, we would like to extend a warm welcome to the City of Hemet and the San Jacinto Valley. We take great pride in our community, which is known for its strong spirit of togetherness and family-oriented environment.

As the population of our valley continues to grow at a rapid pace, the Hemet Police Department is also experiencing growth to meet the needs of our community. If you are passionate about serving and protecting others, we encourage you to explore a career with us. You can find more information within the webpage on how to join our dedicated team.

Hemet is not only known for its picturesque landscapes and natural wonders like Diamond Valley Lake, Simpson Park, and The Western Science Center, but also its vibrant cultural scene, highlighted by the esteemed Ramona Pageant, the longest-running outdoor play in the United States. Additionally, we boast a top-notch school district, providing excellent educational opportunities for families in our community.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for taking the time to visit our webpage. It is our hope that through this platform, we can connect with you, our residents and visitors, and build a stronger relationship. We are here to serve and protect, and we encourage you to reach out to us with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
