Thomas M. Quinn III is the District Attorney of Bristol County, serving as chief prosecutor of all crimes that occur in the county’s 20 cities and towns. He was appointed to the position by Governors Patrick and Baker In 2015. His appointment received widespread support from the community who cited his 25+ years of experience in the justice system, including eight years as First Assistant District Attorney and his commitment to the community as a lifelong resident of Bristol County. Since his appointment in 2015, DA Quinn has been elected twice by the citizens of Bristol County.
His office has a 95% homicide solve rate, while the national average is just 54%. In Massachusetts, the district attorney’s office leads all homicide investigations. At a time when numerous areas throughout the country are seeing their homicide solve rates plummet and their violent crime rates increase, Bristol County can be proud to know the opposite is occurring here in Southeastern Massachusetts
