TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A fallen police officer's K-9 partner is now being honored.
Fallen Terre Haute Police Officer Brent Long's family cut the ribbon on Shadow's Trail in Terre Haute.
Shadow served alongside Officer Long on the force. The trail is beside Brent Long Memorial Way.
It's part of the expansion of the city's trails and a way to honor the police dog's service.
"They did a good job for our department and to have Brent's memorial way here and Shadow's Trail right next to Brent, they're partners even after Brent's gone,” Terre Haute Police Chief John Plasse said.
The trail is now open.
