Compassionate and dedicated officer mourned

Dominic Francis honored in memorial service

On the morning of April 8, an estimated 2,000 mourners came to pay their respects to Dominic M. “Dom” Francis, 42, a Bluffton police officer who was killed in the line of duty on March 31. Family, friends, colleagues and Cory-Rawson students gathered at Bluffton University’s Sommer Center to remember and mourn Francis, while the larger community of first responders from Ohio and beyond paid tribute to one who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the public.

Prior to the service, Allen County Sheriff Matthew Treglia held a press conference on questions regarding the day’s events. The investigation of Francis’s death was not addressed.
