Officer Clifton Joseph Robert “Cliffie” Francis

The former K9 Unit officer served in the South African Police Service for 38 years and decided to take his retirement in May this year. At his farewell party, Cliffie was described as an officer who left the SAPS with a clean record; no cases against him or misconduct – a rare find and an officer certainly from the ‘old school’! Cliffie will be dearly missed by fellow colleagues and the K9 Unit. Officer Francis leaves behind his wife Anne, sons Justin and Mark and his daughter Sheri-Lee.
