Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces

The Multi-jurisdictional Counter Crime Task Force Program was created to facilitate collaboration among local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Participating agencies coordinate efforts, share resources, and exchange information to identify, arrest, and prosecute persons engaged in gang and drug-related crime.

In an effort to improve the content and quality of data collected from the MJTFs, the Research and Policy Analysis Unit redesigned the Task Force quarterly reports. Information from the revised reports is compiled and analyzed to help understand the statewide picture of MJTF activities. The Research and Policy Analysis Unit is developing a publication that will summarize these findings.

In order to help improve the effectiveness of the grant program, the Research and Policy Analysis Unit used data on drug arrests and drug treatment admissions to develop a ranking system for Massachusetts communities participating in drug task forces. This analysis will be used to aid future grant making decisions by determining which Massachusetts communities have the greatest need for funding.
