Witness Protection in Canada

Canada’s Witness Protection Program is a government initiative that provides safety and security to witnesses who may face threats or retaliation due to their cooperation with law enforcement. It offers services such as new identities, relocation, and security measures to help witnesses testify without fear. The program balances the importance of justice with privacy and safety, ensuring witnesses can participate in legal processes while minimizing their risk of harm. Participation is voluntary, and the program operates under strict confidentiality to protect both the witnesses and the integrity of ongoing investigations.
