It depends on the investigation. Any law enforcement body can have jurisdiction. Investigations into organized crime are generally assigned to larger law enforcement agencies, such as the Toronto police force, the Ontario Provincial Police , the Vancouver Police, the Montreal Police, the Sûreté du Québec, and so forth. It all depends on the police force in charge of the investigation, on the human resources working on the investigation and on the individuals scheduled to testify.
If the witness is under the jurisdiction of a police force other than the RCMP, the police force must contact us for assistance in getting a person into the Witness Protection Program. A police force requires our helps because the RCMP manages the Program. Under our program, witnesses obtain a federal identity, a passport, a social security number, and so forth.
