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.
Through these efforts, his office has solved several cold case homicides and the horrific case of a serial rapist from the late 1990s. Tom’s DNA initiative has also resulted in a number of hits and connections to ongoing investigations that are likely to result in more cases solved and more violent felons off the streets
