MAPA's membership includes Missouri's 115 elected prosecuting and circuit attorneys, and approximately 400 assistant prosecuting and circuit attorneys and investigators.

As the voice of Missouri's prosecutors, MAPA works with the development of legislation and policy that protects the public, improves Missouri's criminal justice system and enhances the profession of prosecution.

Commissions and Task Forces: The MAPA President, or his or her designee, serves on the Criminal Justice Information Advisory Committee and the Juvenile Justice Advisory Board.
