Hub Security and Investigative Group provides trusted security in Attleboro, MA, pairing licensed guards with genuine local knowledge of the community.
ATTLEBORO, MASS. — A city once responsible for most of the costume jewelry sold in the United States has quietly become one of the safer mid-sized communities in southeastern Massachusetts, according to FBI crime data, even as its old mill villages and a modern hospital campus each require their own approach to private security.
By Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager

Security Built Around Attleboro’s Districts
Attleboro grew up around several separate mill villages before they merged into one city, and each still functions as its own neighborhood with its own security demands.
- Downtown / Park Square: City Hall, retail storefronts and restaurants concentrate foot traffic downtown, where retail security presence is most requested.
- Hebronville and Dodgeville: These former mill villages combine converted industrial buildings with dense residential streets, where residential security guard patrols cover both apartment complexes and single-family blocks.
- Sturdy Memorial Hospital campus and the surrounding medical corridor: Healthcare and office buildings in this area rely on corporate security for parking-lot and building-access coverage around the clock.
- South Attleboro: Commercial development near the Rhode Island line and Route 95 sees ongoing construction site security demand as new retail and warehouse projects go up.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
Attleboro recorded a violent crime rate of 2.27 per 1,000 residents in 2024, according to FBI data compiled by NeighborhoodScout — below the Massachusetts state average of 3.15 per 1,000. Property crime came in at 11.38 per 1,000 residents, just above the statewide average of 11.12. NeighborhoodScout’s index ranks Attleboro safer than 28% of U.S. cities, and the most recent reporting year recorded one homicide citywide.
Attleboro’s numbers put it closer to the state average than many of its Bristol County neighbors, but that does not mean uniform risk across the city. Property crime concentrates around retail parking areas downtown and along South Attleboro’s commercial strip near the Rhode Island border, which is why Hub Security and Investigative Group weights patrol frequency toward those corridors rather than spreading coverage evenly across the city.

Condo, Apartment, and Business Complex Security in Attleboro
Attleboro’s condo and apartment communities face a security gap individual homeowners don’t: shared entryways, parking areas, and mailrooms mean a single unlocked door or unmonitored lot puts every unit at risk, not just one. A condo association or property manager can split the cost of a Hub Security officer across the whole property rather than each resident arranging separate coverage, covering evening patrols, monitoring shared entrances, and responding to package-theft or trespassing complaints for less per household than residents would pay arranging security in Attleboro, MA individually.
The same logic applies to Attleboro’s business and industrial properties. Multi-tenant sites in the Attleboro Industrial Business Park benefit from a single security contract covering the whole property — consistent after-hours patrol of loading docks and parking areas, a documented point of contact for access issues, and one bill instead of several separate vendors. Retail centers such as Bristol Place Shopping Center on Newport Avenue are a similar fit for Hub’s retail security services and mobile patrol, since a visible officer during business hours deters shoplifting and parking-lot incidents.
Hub Security officers are also trained and certified to staff public and private events in Attleboro — from a business park tenant event to a condo association gathering or a community event — and hold current Massachusetts Crowd Manager certification through the MA Department of Fire Services, in addition to CPR/First Aid and Narcan (naloxone) certification. That means an officer staffing a crowded Attleboro event isn’t just a visible presence — they’re certified to manage occupancy limits and respond to a medical emergency until first responders arrive.
