Hub Security and Investigative Group has been a trusted security partner for Avon, MA property owners for years.
Avon, Ma is a small Norfolk County town named after Stratford-upon-Avon, England, incorporated in 1888 after separating from Stoughton — a connection still reflected in the town seal, which features William Shakespeare. Roughly 23 percent of Avon’s land is designated industrial or commercial, and the Avon Industrial Park is home to 127 firms employing more than 3,600 people, including distribution operations for national brands. The town’s roots trace back to Moses Curtis, a Braintree blacksmith who settled the area around 1720, in what was then known as “Curtis Corners.”

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides Tactically Trained & MA Firearms-Licensed Armed and unarmed security guard services, mobile patrol, and private investigation services throughout Avon, MA, a Norfolk County town of roughly 4,800 residents known for its large industrial park and its Stratford-upon-Avon namesake. From Corporate Security Services for the town’s industrial employers to Residential Community Security for its neighborhoods, Hub is licensed to operate across Massachusetts and familiar with Avon’s mix of industrial and residential character.
Security Built Around Avon’s Areas
- Avon Industrial Park — home to 127 firms and more than 3,600 jobs, including distribution operations for national brands, where Corporate Security Services and Background Checks support employers with large workforces and high-value logistics operations.
- Town center near the Avon Baptist Church — the historic core of town, anchored by the 1848 Avon Baptist Church, where Unarmed Security Guards support small businesses and public properties.
- Residential neighborhoods bordering Brockton and Randolph — Avon’s housing stock sits close to its larger neighbors, where Residential Community Security and patrol services support homeowners.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
NeighborhoodScout’s detailed crime data for Avon is paywalled, so Hub relies on CrimeGrade.org, which gives the town an overall Crime Grade of C, with a violent crime grade of D+ (4.244 per 1,000 residents) and a property crime grade of C- (16.21 per 1,000 residents) — putting Avon in roughly the 41st percentile for safety nationally, meaning it is safer than 41 percent of comparison cities. With a significant share of town land dedicated to industrial and distribution use, Avon’s practical security needs skew toward protecting commercial and logistics operations as much as residential neighborhoods.

Why Avon Businesses and Residents Choose Hub
- Massachusetts-licensed, start to finish. Hub’s security guard and private investigation license means clients are working with a compliant, insured provider, not an unlicensed operator.
- Regional reach, local roots. Because Hub is based in Massachusetts, guards and patrols deploy quickly across the region instead of routing through a distant national call center.
- Scaled to the job at hand. Armed, unarmed, mobile patrol, and private investigation services scale up or down with the property, event, or investigation.
- No franchise layers to work through. Hub’s operations team is who clients actually talk to — not a multi-layer franchise structure.
- Screened before assignment. Guards are screened and licensed in line with Massachusetts security guard regulations before they’re ever put on a post.
How Hub Saves Avon Customers Money
Consolidating guard, patrol, and investigative services with Hub tends to save money compared to hiring separate vendors for each: one onboarding process, no coverage gaps that mean paying overtime to a backup provider, and one invoice instead of several surprise bills. That matters in Avon, where the Avon Industrial Park alone is home to 127 firms — a business with multiple buildings or tenants in the park can put all of them under one Hub contract instead of negotiating separate vendors site by site.
Condo, Apartment, and Business Park Security in Avon
Avon’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 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 Avon, MA individually.
The same logic applies to Avon’s business parks. Multi-tenant properties in the Avon Industrial 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 properties such as the plaza at 1 Harrison Boulevard 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 officers are also trained and certified to staff public and private events in Avon — from an industrial 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. For a busy event in Avon, that training means the assigned officer manages occupancy limits and can respond to a medical emergency while waiting for first responders.
Licensing, Insurance, and What Hub Offers in Avon, MA
Hub Security and Investigative Group is fully licensed and insured to protect Avon MA properties. Our guards operate under Massachusetts Security Guard License #LP0203L, held since 2004, and every assignment is backed by a $3 million general liability insurance policy, giving Avon property owners real peace of mind that their investment is protected by a properly credentialed and accountable company.
- Mobile security patrols that check Avon properties on a scheduled or randomized basis, day and night
- Trained armed security guards for higher-risk locations and after-hours coverage
- Professional unarmed security guards for lobbies, gates, and day-to-day site presence
- Crowd-certified event management, including guards holding the Massachusetts Crowd Manager certification through the MA Department of Fire Services, along with CPR/First Aid and Narcan training

Why Avon’s Condo Communities Choose Hub
Condominium communities in Avon MA benefit from a visible, professional security presence that discourages break-ins, vehicle theft, and vandalism while giving residents confidence in their community. Properties such as The Villages at Curtis Estates on Curtis Circle represent the kind of multi-unit residential communities where scheduled mobile patrols, entrance coverage, and rapid incident response make the biggest difference for both boards and residents.
Hub works directly with property managers and condo boards in Avon to design a coverage plan that fits the property’s layout and budget, whether that means overnight patrols of parking areas and common spaces, an unarmed guard stationed at a main entrance, or armed coverage during higher-risk periods. Our guards are trained to document and report issues professionally, so association boards have a clear record of activity on their property.
What to Verify Before Hiring a Security Company in Avon, MA
Before hiring any security company to protect an Avon MA property, ask to see proof of an active Massachusetts Security Guard License and confirm the company carries adequate general liability insurance. Hub Security and Investigative Group holds license, in place since 2004, and carries a $3 million policy, so Avon property owners and condo boards can verify our credentials directly rather than taking coverage claims on faith.
It also helps to ask how guards protecting Avon MA properties are trained, supervised, and dispatched. Hub’s guards check in during scheduled patrols, are supervised by local management, and can be reached quickly if an issue comes up at an Avon property, giving owners a level of accountability that unlicensed or uninsured providers cannot match.
Living Next to D.W. Field Park
Avon’s largest open space is one it shares with Brockton. D.W. Field Park covers about 650 acres across northern Brockton and southern Avon, and it was created in 1925 from a bequest by businessman Daniel W. Field. A six-mile circuit road winds through the park past a chain of seven ponds and lakes along Beaver Brook, including Cross Pond and Waldo Lake, and the grounds also hold an 18-hole golf course and a stone observation tower built in 1928. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
A park this size has many entrances and no formal trail network, so most visitors gather at the parking areas along the circuit road. For the Avon homes and businesses that back up to the park’s southern end, that can mean a long, wooded edge that is hard to watch from the house, with cars coming and going at the pull-offs.
Hub’s mobile patrol is a good fit for that kind of boundary. An officer can drive a regular loop past homes and commercial lots near the park, check rear fences and gates that face the woods, and note vehicles left parked overnight. Patrol frequency can go up in the months when an owner sees the most activity near the property and come back down when things are quiet.
- Scheduled or randomized patrol passes for properties along the park’s edge
- Gate, fence and outbuilding checks on the side of a property facing the woods
- Timestamped reports a homeowner or condo board can share with Avon police if something turns up
