Our Pillars
"I vow to be transparent and accountable in every decision I make, because every decision is guided by one principle: serving the people of Franklin County." - Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Shayla D. Favor
The Franklin County Prosecutor's Office is committed to upholding justice and strives to make all residents feel safe and protected. We prosecute crime with vigor and fairness, give a voice to victims, and partner with the community to build a justice system that both promotes accountability and creates pathways for healing and restoration.
Transparency
Transparency is not a policy; it is a practice. We are committed to open communication with the public about how our office operates, how decisions are made, and how resources are used. We believe trust is built through consistent, honest engagement, and we work every day to earn it.
Accountability
When we prosecute crime, we hold offenders responsible for the harm they have caused. But accountability does not stop there. This office is equally bound by the very law we enforce. The law guides every decision we make, the ethical obligations of our profession, and a commitment to equal treatment for every person who enters the justice system. Most importantly, we are accountable to the residents of Franklin County — the people we serve and the community we protect.
Transformative Justice
We believe in a justice system that heals, rehabilitates, and provides second chances. Through diversion programs, community partnerships, and evidence-based approaches, we address the root causes of crime and create real pathways for restoration. We are bold in our commitment to reform because a safer county is one where every resident has a meaningful opportunity to thrive.
