The Hemet Police Department is proud to announce the donation of a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor to the students of Alessandro High School’s Career Technical Education (CTE) First Responder program. The official donation took place on May 9, 2025, and marks an important step in strengthening partnerships between law enforcement and local Hemet schools to invest in the next generation of public safety professionals.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, December 17th and 18th, over 40 law enforcement agencies from San Bernardino, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties will take part in the fourth annual Operation Holiday Cheer. More than 100 peace officers, including Santa Claus, will embark on a 475-mile trek to drive by every hospital in the region, spreading holiday cheer and showing appreciation for doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who work tirelessly through the holidays to care for others.
To provide a fun and safe alternative to the traditional door-to-door trick or treating, The Hemet Police Department is hosting our annual Trunk or Treat on:

Come and enjoy a wicked good time with our Police Officers and Hemet PD Staff, along with our friends from the Fire Department, AMR, and Public Works.

Join us in our first ever Autism Acceptance and Resource Fair on Saturday, April 27th from 1:00PM-5:00PM at 200 N. Harvard Street (rear of the Hemet Public Library). This is a free-community event in support of Autism Acceptance, and helping the community find local resources. This event will include demonstrations, sensory activities, crafts, vendors, resources and prizes.
This week, on December 17th and 18th, law enforcement agencies from across Riverside County will take part in the annual “Operation Holiday Cheer” – a festive event honoring the hard work and sacrifice of healthcare professionals during the holiday season. Now in its fifth year, the all-day trek has grown significantly to include nearly 60 law enforcement agencies from seven counties across the state – as well as Santa Claus and other holiday guests – who will visit over 40 hospitals and cover an area of more than 28,000 miles. Participating agencies from Sacramento, San Benito, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties will gather outside local hospitals, filling parking lots with lights, sirens, and holiday cheer to show appreciation to their fellow first responders and bring smiles to patients needing a little extra holiday spirit.
The holiday season can be dangerous for people on the roads. In December 2023 alone, 1,038 people were killed in the U.S. in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Hemet Police Department wants to remind the public of the dangers of driving impaired and to celebrate the holiday season responsibly by not driving under the influence.
