Anyone know what MDA is?

I was listening to the cops in the early hours of this morning in Bunbury and they were carrying out a raid on someone's house.
They kept it all hush hush until such time as they were in and carrying on with the raid.

One of the general duties vehicles got called to go and assist the people carrying out the raid (detectives, I would imagine). The vehicle then requested some information about the POI and was then advised that the lady had an alert for "MDA" - something possibly about drug dealing or something?

Can anyone tell me what MDA stands for?
It's not the first time I've heard it, often hear it when the police are doing rego checks etc.

Cheers
Bonez
