Died – 3\/5\/21
\nHandler – Sgt. Stegall<\/p>\n
The New Hanover County Sheriff\u2019s Office has lost one of its own. Deputy K-9 Jango died from cancer last week. The sheriff\u2019s office says Deputy K-9 Jango was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma cancer in December 2020 and worked into February. Jango was an active member of the NHSO K-9 Unit for more than 10 years. \u201cWhile working he would apprehend and take down bad guys, but he was also the sweetest and most gentle dog when he and his handler Sgt. Stegall spoke to groups like the Boy Scouts, Citizens Academies, Church groups and more,\u201d NHSO wrote in a Facebook post. \u201cDuring regional certifications, he earned \u201cTop Dog\u201d six times and placed in the Top 10 Nationally five times. Jango was given the nickname \u201cSure Thing\u201d because he could always sniff out the trickiest of narcotic hides. Jango will surely be remembered as one of the best.\u201d NHSO will be holding a memorial service for Jango on Monday March 15 at 3:00 p.m. The service will be held at the K-9 training facility at the New Hanover County Sheriff\u2019s Office Page Range. \u201cWe are inviting all surrounding agencies that would like to attend that may have been helped by K-9 Jango in some way,\u201d NHSO wrote. The public can watch the service on the sheriff\u2019s office\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
