Recently, Honolulu has been named the "Safest Big City in America" and Honolulu

crime rates are at the lowest on record according to FBI crime statistics. We as a

community have all done our parts to make that happen and Franklin Don Pacarro, Jr. is

proud of the role he has played in this success.

Pacarro is a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the City and County of Honolulu

and has been serving in the office since 1986. He has made a career out of prosecution,

with an unbroken record of service under three different elected Prosecuting Attorneys.

Born and raised in Honolulu, he graduated from the University of Hawaii's William S.

Richardson School of Law. Pacarro knows the importance of a safe community for our

families, raising three daughters and a son with his wife here on Oahu.

As a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, he worked up the ranks, becoming a felony

prosecution supervisor, and was then appointed Chief of the Trials Division by

Prosecuting Attorney Peter Carlisle. As chief of the largest division in the office, Pacarro

supervises 27 of the attorneys in the department. Attorneys under his watch handle over

half of the felony cases that are prosecuted in Honolulu.

Pacarro is a seasoned trial attorney and has successfully prosecuted over 36 homicide

cases securing twenty-one life sentences among others. Although he is now a supervisor,

he continues to personally handle cases because he believes a leader should do the same

work as the people he leads.

The top elected law enforcement officer in Honolulu should have a top law enforcement

record. The best man for the job has been doing the job for 23 years; elect Deputy

Prosecuting Attorney Franklin Don Pacarro, Jr. for Prosecuting Attorney and let us
