EXECUTIVE ORDER 2022-20
I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, hereby direct the appropriate steps be taken to fly all American and Oklahoma flags on State property at half-staff from 8:00 a.m. on Friday, August 26, 2022, until sundown on Sunday, August 28, 2022, to honor the life and service of Captain William Riley Hargraves of the Osage County Sheriff's Office, who was tragically killed on August 19, 2022.
A 2000 graduate of the C.L.E.E.T. Law Enforcement Academy, Captain Hargraves' exemplary service to the Osage County Sheriff's Office, Osage Cove Fire Department, as a C.L.E.E.T. Firearms Instructor, and our state will not be forgotten. Sadly, Captain Hargraves leaves behind a loving family, including his wife, Emily, and three children, Benjamin, Gracie, and Presley. A celebration of Captain Hargraves' life is scheduled for Friday, August 26, 2022, at the Ponca City School Concert Hall in Ponca City. I encourage all Oklahomans to honor our fallen officers by celebrating their faithful service to the public. The state of Oklahoma recognizes not only our law enforcement officers but the families of those who continue to protect and serve our communities and the sacrifices they make daily.
This executive order shall be forwarded to the Division of Capital Assets Management, who shall cause the provisions of this order to be implemented by all appropriate agencies of state government.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on this 25 th day of August, 2022.
