Here's The Latest





*Chief Paul LeBaron Receives Joseph T. Molloy Award *

On May 22nd, our very own Police Chief, Paul LeBaron, received the California Police Chiefs Association’s 2024 Joseph T. Molloy Award. The award, which represents the highest honor given by the Association, embodies the values of the late Chief Joe Molloy by officially recognizing one police chief each year for “exemplary professionalism, leadership, vigor, and unwavering dedication to the CPCA’s mission.”

Chief LeBaron has been instrumental in establishing the Hermosa Beach Police Department as a model for community, inclusivity, and innovative policing. This well-deserved award is yet another example of the Chief’s continued commitment to excellence and is a fitting tribute to his exceptional leadership. Congratulations Chief LeBaron and thank you for all you do for our community!

*Mobile Mental Health and Crisis Response Pilot Program*

This month the City announced a "soft launch” of the City’s Mobile Mental Health and Crisis Response Pilot Program. As residents may recall, the City worked with Representative Ted Lieu to secure $1 million in federal funding for the development of a Mobile Crisis Response Pilot Program. Since obtaining funding and contracting with the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, City Manager’s Office and Police Department staff have been working on development and staffing of the pilot program. 

We are now pleased to announce the soft launch of our Mobile Mental Health and Crisis Response Pilot Program team, which we have named “Hb Cares”. The Program, which is now in the midst of its clinician recruitment stage in today’s challenging hiring environment, will provide an alternate response model for mental health and behavior-related calls involving our unhoused neighbors. This soft launch is intended to begin testing our dispatch, engagement with other partner agencies, and proactive outreach to our unhoused residents who may need mental health services while we work to secure additional staffing.    

Once fully staffed, the Program will engage and support a civilian team that will respond instead of police when calls involve non-emergency and non-medical situations tied to individuals experiencing homelessness. Although we are still in the very early stages of this Program, we are proud to get team members out in the field to begin providing services to those in need, and to provide critical relief to our first responders, who are often the ones responding to calls involving unhoused residents who have mental health issues.

*Teen Mental Health First Aid Training *

The Beach Cities Health District is providing an opportunity for local youth ages 15 to18 to train and become certified in teen Mental Health First Aid. This amazing program teaches teens how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges in their friends and peers. Participants must attend all three sessions to be certified. Sessions are held on Wednesdays, May 29th, June 5th and June 12th from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. Training is currently free to attend and interested teens should visit the Beach Cities Health District website [ http://www.bchd.org?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], to register.

*Recycle Tennis Balls Update*

The City will officially partner for a second year with the nonprofit organization, RecycleBalls. RecycleBalls works with municipalities and tennis facilities across the country to recycle and reuse tennis balls that are past their prime. Since the beginning of this program in Hermosa Beach in April 2023, the City and RecycyleBalls have partnered to recycle over 5,200 old tennis balls, further supporting Hermosa’s ongoing Green initiatives and contributing to local sustainability.
