Handler – <\/strong>Cpl. Steve Langan<\/p>\n

Retired Falls Twp. Police Dog Tag Remembered<\/strong><\/p>\n

The longtime K-9 partner of a Falls Township police officer passed away recently. Cpl. Steve Langan\u2019s police dog Tag, 14, served with Langan from April 2008 until August 2019. After that, the dog retired to live with Langan, his wife, their four kids, and their two other dogs, according to a statement from the township. Langan and Tag were \u201cvirtually inseparable,\u201d officials said. The dog went with Langan on family trips to Myrtle Beach and even made the trek with them to Disney World. \u201cI took him everywhere with me,\u201d Langan said. \u201cI literally spent every waking moment with him.\u201d Tag didn\u2019t have any health problems, but he was getting older and was slowing down. \u201cEverybody\u2019s lost a pet, but he was my partner,\u201d Langan said of Tag. \u201cHe would\u2019ve done anything for me. It\u2019s a little bit harder to explain. He would\u2019ve given his life for me without any question.\u201d The Belgian Malinois served as a patrol and narcotics dog. He was able to conduct building searches and tracking. Tag helped take illegal drugs off the street and assisted in locating lost kids and adults with dementia. Officials noted that Tag helped recover seven kilos of cocaine from underneath the passenger-side floor of a vehicle stopped in Bensalem Township. The dog\u2019s sensitive nose came into play and he located the drugs that Pennsylvania State Police troopers were unable to find during their search. \u201cHe smelled it right away,\u201d Langan said of the cocaine, which had been wrapped several times and smeared with motor oil. \u201cYou could be somewhere (searching) for days potentially, and the dog would find it within minutes.\u201d In 2009, Tag won a national award for nabbing two robbers. Langan said that Tag helped keep him safe when out on patrol. He said suspect would be \u201cthinking about fighting and Tag would start barking in the back of the car. That would change their train of thought too.\u201d And Tag wasn\u2019t just important when out on the streets. Langan said the trained dog saved his young daughter, a toddler at the time, when she was outside. Tag was inside and began running back and forth. The officer\u2019s wife let Tag out and he darted toward the toddler, who was being approached by a groundhog, and whisked the large rodent away from the child. \u201cHis cool status was elevated,\u201d Langan said. \u201cEverybody liked Tag,\u201d he added. \u201cIf you start petting him on his back, he will roll into you and let you pet his belly. Not every dog\u2019s going to give you his belly like Tag would. When nothing was going on he was like a regular dog.\u201d Langan, a 25-year lawman, trained with Tag for two months in Canada before return to Falls Township in 2008. \u201cI was very close with him. He was part of my family,\u201d he said of Tag. \u201cHe was a great partner and friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
