J O S H U A. M U R R A Y

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we say goodbye to an officer of the Cornelius Police Department.

Joshua Murray lived a fruitful life, dedicated to protection and service. He was beloved by many, and his memory will live everlastingly with those that knew him.

Officer Murray began his time with CPD in April 2019. He was assigned to the Lake Patrol Division where he put his all into each and every day. He also served on the Mobile Field Force Team.

We are deeply saddened by this loss, and endlessly uplifted as we continue to remember every laugh, smile, and moment shared.

"Officer Murray truly loved his job as a Police Officer. As a Lake Patrol Officer, he effectively utilized his technology skills to promote our profession and the Lake Patrol Unit. He will be missed by all."

Chief Kevin Black

In lieu of flowers, Officer Murray's family asks that donations be made to TopDeck Foundation.

OUR LATEST GEM

Phase II of McDowell Creek Greenway is now open!

The 1.6-mile extension is not only a beautiful backdrop for a crisp January run, it's also another installation of the highly-anticipated Emerald Necklace.

Once complete, the Emerald Necklace will be a 13-mile network of greenways and multi-use paths, encircling the Town and providing ample opportunities for walking, jogging, biking, or whatever your heart desires!
