witness protection

Witness protection, often referred to as witness relocation, is a program designed to safeguard individuals who provide crucial testimony in legal cases, particularly those involving organized crime or serious offenses. Participants may face threats to their safety, so the program offers new identities, secure housing, and support services to help them start fresh. The goal is to encourage witnesses to come forward without fear for their lives or the well-being of their families. By protecting these individuals, the justice system aims to ensure fair trials and uphold the rule of law.
