Abstract: This paper uses a systematic study to establish the essentiality of public-police partnership (PPP) in improving safety and security measures in higher education institutions (HEIs). Selected common crimes (sexual harassment, Gender-based violence, and theft) are going to form the crux of this paper. The findings emphasise the ignored collaboration of different stakeholders in the HEIs and recommend that HEIs students avoid walking alone at night, walk in groups, and avoid headphones. The paper recommends the application of the PPP to improve collaboration among relevant stakeholders.
