The MPD hope these bios will give Medfield residents the opportunity to get to know them better, and strengthen the relationship between the police department and our citizens.

Sergeant Francis M. Thisse

Sergeant Francis M. Thisse was born in Newton Massachusetts and raised in Millis Massachusetts where he attended High School. Francis lived in a very family oriented home as the second born of four boys. Francis’s large family came from the Adirondacks in New York and all are avid motor sports enthusiast as well as international conservationists. Throughout High School and to this day, he enjoys living an extremely active lifestyle, playing sports of all types and spending time with his friends and family.

Francis began to work labor jobs at 14 years old to save money for college where he attended Plymouth State University to ultimately achieve a Bachelors of Science degree in Exercise Sciences. After working in the health and fitness industry for some time, Francis followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he served as an Infantry Riflemen and indoctrinated successfully into a Scout Sniper platoon. Upon return from a pacific tour and deactivation into the reserves, Francis gravitated toward a structured and uniformed profession much like the military. As a result, Medfield Police welcomed him into the patrol division after attending his first academy in 2020.

Francis was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in March of 2024 and is happily serving our community in a leadership role. Sgt. Thisse takes advantage of any training opportunity presented to him so he can best provide to the community he serves for.
