Justice and Law Enforcement: Changes Needed in Witness Security Program

  Premium   Download PDF Now (70 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date March 17, 1983
Report No. GGD-83-25
Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated operational aspects of the Department of Justice's Witness Security Program.

GAO found that procedural deficiencies had enabled relocated witnesses to avoid legal obligations to the detriment of various third parties. An internal policy directive issued in April 1982 could help to mitigate these problems. However, legislative changes are needed to enhance the rights of third parties to enforce court judgments against witnesses and establish specific criteria to guide the program. GAO also found that program operations cannot be adequately assessed because the program does not have adequate information and procedures to facilitate evaluation. GAO concluded that specific legislative criteria need to be established to guide the operation of the program. Further, considering the cost and controversial nature of the program, GAO believes that Justice should establish an information system and a mechanism to facilitate independent evaluation.
