Paco Balderrama made history in Oklahoma City Police Department, June 27, 2017 when he was promoted to Major, making him the highest ranking Hispanic in the 130-year history of the department.
He started the OKC PD eighteen years ago with his twin brother Beto. During his tenure, he has been patrol officer, field training office and DARE Instructor. He's been a supervisor as lieutenant over the Bricktown Bike Patrol, the Truancy Unit and the FACT Gang Prevention Program.
“The power of visualizing your dreams is very, very important,” said Paco. “I think young Hispanic kids can look at people who are doing well in the community and in city government and it gives them that idea, hey, I can do it, too.”
