The Program provides for both short and long-term housing the actual costs of relocation such as rent, truck rental, and subsistence as well as assistance with school and housing voucher transfers. The criminal prosecution remains with the initiating agency and the District Attorney’s Office. While the referring agency determines the need for relocation, this Office has final authority to determine entry into the Program. The Program assists all law enforcement agencies across the Commonwealth in the relocation of witnesses and their families, when necessary. Thereafter, in July of 2005, the Pennsylvania Legislature agreed to continue the Program by funding the Witness Relocation Program in the Attorney’s General operating budget.
In 2002, the Office of Attorney General established a Witness Relocation Program for witnesses and their immediate household members who are threatened as a result of testifying in a felony case utilizing grant funds provided by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and the US Department of Justice’s, Office of Justice Programs. The Asset Forfeiture & Money Laundering Section Chief also administers the Office’s Witness Relocation Program.
