About the MDAA
MDAA is an independent state agency whose mission is to support the eleven elected Massachusetts District Attorneys and their combined staff of 1500 employees, including 700 prosecutors and 250 victim-witness advocates.
The District Attorneys prosecute approximately 300,000 cases annually. MDAA supports the District Attorneys by managing statewide business technology services and administering grants in the areas of Violence Against Women, Motor Vehicle Crimes, and Crimes Against Persons with Disabilities. MDAA also produces publications for prosecutors and advocates, hosts trainings and conferences, and provides information on budgetary, criminal justice and public safety issues to the executive and legislative branches.
