Supporting Victims of Crime with Secure Witness Protection FacilitiesOur witness protection programme is just that – it is designed to protect witnesses and their families. It provides a quick solution to an urgent witness protection and safety issue, providing short-term respite from the threat and the geographical area of the threat. It provides peace of mind for the witness. All the accommodation is independently secured within access controlled buildings and no one else in the accommodation will know why you are there.The accommodation is available as long as necessary and could be changed if the location was compromised. Before the witness or their family leaves the accommodation the Protection Provider will have secured permanent accommodation, or the threat may have ceased. |
