{wiki=Witness_protection}
Witness protection, often referred to as a witness protection program (WPP), is a government program designed to protect witnesses who testify in legal proceedings, particularly in cases involving serious crimes such as organized crime, drug trafficking, or violent offenses. The primary goal of such programs is to ensure the safety of witnesses and their families, as they may face threats, intimidation, or retaliation from those who are implicated in the crimes they are testifying about.
