It was discovered among other major findings that, aside from perceiving tourists as irresponsible and careless, the respondents operationalize crimes in a manner that makes them passive towards tourist protection; thereby these perceptions contribute to their inability to act as capable guardians. In light of these findings, a two-pronged strategy was suggested. First, the Ghana Tourist Board, in conjunction with the higher institutions, could organize regular sensitization workshops for the police teaching modern tourist protections strategies. Second, the time is perfect for tourism desks to be established in the three towns discussed helping to create an awareness of tourism and provide practical proactive measures to address tourist victimization. Security remains central to any discourse on tourism development. It is well established in the literature that increasing tourist patronage is positively associated with the potential of higher victimization rates. It is therefore important to study the perceptions and activities of security agencies at destinations. Using an exploratory approach and 3P framework, this study assessed the views of some Ghanaian police officers on issues concerning tourist protection. Tables, figure, and references
