BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 The Bensalem Township Police Department has a new K9 on the force.<\/p>\n
Meet Taz. <\/p>\n
The addition of Taz now brings the police department’s K9 Unit back up to six dogs, officials said.<\/p>\n
Bensalem Police held a special ceremony recently to recognize Linda Morrin today for her donation in sponsoring the purchase of K9 Taz.<\/p>\n
Taz is a patrol and drug detector dog whose handler is Police Officer Tom Martinka. <\/p>\n
Taz was purchased in memory of Morrin’s father, Edward \u201cReds\u201d Meyers, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 91. <\/p>\n
Meyers was a U.S. Navy veteran who always gave back to his community. He was a resident at Juniper Village and always enjoyed the Bensalem K-9 Unit’s demonstrations at the facility. <\/p>\n
Morrin was joined at the ceremony by her husband, Dan, and granddaughter, Sarah.<\/p>\n
“We all wish Taz the best of luck with his assignment and expect him to have a lasting impact on the community,” police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 The Bensalem Township Police Department has a new K9 on the force.
