St. Louis Police Department Chief John Hayden paid tribute to Dorn as a “fine captain.”
“Many of us, the other officers, looked up to him,” Hayden said. “Was very well-liked, very pleasant. And his wife still works here. So a very sad time for our agency. We will honor him.”
Dorn served 38 years in the St. Louis Police Department.
A private memorial service honoring Dorn’s life will be held Wednesday.
