Police dog Tach has died following a short illness

The PSNI have paid tribute to a much valued police dog who has died following a short illness.

Tach, a Belgian Malinois, retired from active duty in 2015 after working with the police across Northern Ireland and often in Co Fermanagh during a successful six year career.

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "We are sad to announce that PD Tach passed away this week after a short illness.

"Tach served with us since 2009 and quickly earned a reputation for his remarkable ability to track down missing people and sniff out criminals.

"After more than six years loyal service he retired in 2015 to live at home with his handler and family for some well earned rest.

"Tach was well known right across the service, especially the Fermanagh area, where he was often seen hard at work with his handler, assisting in all types of calls, giving officers on the ground an invaluable resource in their apprehension of criminals."
