EXECUTIVE ORDER 2022-20
I, J.

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.

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.
