Residents saw police officers and cadets out and about in the Saints, Poets and Challney areas of Luton on Monday.
The local policing teams and cadets were joined by volunteers and members of Homewatch for the Operation Vision high impact day.
They visited every property in the designated areas to speak to residents about preventing burglary.
Sgt Pauline Leng, organiser of Monday’s event, said: “Operation Vision is all about the police and residents working together against criminals and making it hard for them to commit crimes in our town.
She added: “There are still areas in the town that could do better in terms of taking up crime reduction advice”.
