A new bench at Middletown’s Core Creek Park was installed in honor of a fallen Bensalem detective.
Recently, the Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA) dedicated a memorial bench in honor of late Bensalem Police Department Detective Kevin Cornish, who passed away suddenly at a 5k race in Philadelphia in January.

“Detective Cornish was a good friend and staunch supporter of NOVA, the Bucks County Children’s Advocacy Center and the victims and families with whom he came in contact as he investigated crimes and pursued justice. His bold personality and entertaining approach to NOVA trainings and the many other community activities he participated in made him well-liked as well as highly respected,” NOVA said in a statement.
Cornish, a resident of Northampton, served in the Secret Service before joining Bensalem police and working his way up to the rank of detective in the Special Victims Unit.
NOVA said Cornish was posthumously awarded the 2015 Outstanding Service Award by the nonprofit.
