The following was taken from a press release distributed by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office on July 19, 2023:
HALL COUNTY, Ga. – Many of you have reached out to us over the past couple of days for information on how the community can assist Hall County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Patrick Neil Holtzclaw, who recently lost his wife and two children in a vehicle collision.
Thank you for your patience as Deputy Holtzclaw has processed and continues to process the tragedy.
With the blessing of Deputy Holtzclaw, his family, and our agency, the Georgia Law Enforcement Organization is accepting donations for Deputy Holtzclaw. The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization is a 501c3 non-profit, so any donations will be tax deductible. No percentage will be deducted from any donation – all monies will go directly to Deputy Holtzclaw. The following is the official donation link.
For those who have not already received the statement, Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch pledged his support to Deputy Holtzclaw in the coming days, weeks, and months.
“What can you say when someone loses his entire family? There are no words that can adequately express the heartbreak the Holtzclaw family is experiencing right now, but clearly, our entire agency is devastated for them,” said Sheriff Gerald Couch. “We appreciate the many law enforcement agencies that have reached out asking how they can help. If I know our community, they will want to offer support, too. For now, we ask that you remember Deputy Holtzclaw in your prayers and give him time to grieve privately.”
We have also attached the photo the family prefers you use in any coverage.
We thank you for your interest in this story and ask that you continue to give Deputy Holtzclaw and his family time and space to grieve and make further arrangements.
