Witness Protection Programs are government initiatives designed to protect individuals who provide testimony in criminal cases. These programs offer safety measures, including relocation, new identities, and financial support, to ensure the safety of witnesses and their families from potential retaliation by criminals. Participants in these programs often include witnesses to serious crimes, such as organized crime, drug trafficking, or terrorism. By safeguarding these individuals, the programs help maintain the integrity of the legal system and encourage people to come forward with vital information that can lead to successful prosecutions.
