What is the primary purpose of the witness protection Program?

Answer 1

The Witness Protection Program provides protection for witnesses in large criminal cases who are in danger or have been threatened by anyone involved with the case. To be eligible for the program, one must be providing substantial evidence in a felony case. Family members may also be eligible for protection if threats pertaining to their safety have been made, but all threats considered must be of serious matter because the process of the Witness Protection Program is an expensive one.
