The Hemet Police Department announced Alexis Hoffman, MSW, ACSW, as its newest clinical therapist assigned to the department’s Community Behavioral Assessment Team.
Hoffman is partnered with Officer Martinez as part of the Community Behavioral Assessment Team, which pairs a police officer with a licensed mental health clinician to respond to individuals experiencing mental health or behavioral crises. Together, they provide compassionate crisis intervention, help de-escalate situations safely, connect individuals and families to local resources, and offer support when needed. The team approach allows the department to better serve the community with care, understanding, and professionalism.
This collaborative approach allows the department to better serve residents with care, understanding, and professionalism—ensuring that those in crisis receive appropriate mental health support alongside public safety services.
Hoffman earned her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Riverside, where she worked with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She later completed her Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California and served on a co-response team alongside Campus Police at a community college.
With Hoffman joining the Community Behavioral Assessment Team, the department continues to expand its efforts to provide thoughtful, effective responses to behavioral health needs within the community.
