Hub Security and Investigative Group provides trusted security in Billerica, MA, pairing trained guards with genuine local knowledge of the community.
Billerica was settled in 1652 on land the English called Shawshin, previously home to a Native “praying town” established under John Eliot’s mission, and incorporated in 1655 under a name borrowed from Billericay, England.
The town’s fortunes turned again in 1795, when the Middlesex Canal connected the Concord and Merrimack rivers, and turned once more in the 1840s, when the Boston and Lowell Railroad brought textile mills to the Shawsheen River in what is now North Billerica. Each wave of industry pulled the town’s center of gravity in a new direction, and the result is a town today split among several distinct villages rather than one downtown.

Security in Billerica, MA
Hub Security and Investigative Group is the local choice for security in Billerica, MA, providing trained armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and private investigation services throughout the community.
Security Built Around Billerica’s Districts
The old mill village of North Billerica, centered on the Billerica Mills Historic District along the Shawsheen River, mixes converted industrial buildings with small businesses that use our corporate security services for after-hours coverage.
Billerica Center, the town’s civic and retail hub near the town common, depends on our retail security services to cover its shops and strip plazas. The Middlesex Turnpike corridor, home to Raytheon, EMD Serono, and other technology and defense employers, is where our corporate patrols see the heaviest demand for after-hours building checks.
And around Nutting Lake and Pinehurst, seasonal cottages long ago converted to year-round homes, our residential security guard patrols cover quiet residential streets that still see periodic break-ins. New commercial and warehouse construction near the turnpike also keeps our construction site security guards active in town.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
Billerica recorded a violent crime rate of 1.00 per 1,000 residents in 2024, according to NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of FBI-reported data — below the Massachusetts state average of 3.15 per 1,000.
Property crime came in at 4.10 per 1,000 residents, well under the statewide average of 11.12 per 1,000, and NeighborhoodScout’s overall index places Billerica safer than 66% of U.S. cities. The most recent reporting year recorded zero murders in town.
Billerica’s low crime numbers reflect a town spread across several villages rather than concentrated in one commercial center, which is exactly why coverage plans in Billerica have to be built village by village. A corporate campus on the Middlesex Turnpike, a mill-building tenant in North Billerica, and a lakefront home near Nutting Lake all face different risks even though they share the same town-wide statistics.
Hub Security and Investigative Group scopes coverage around the specific property and district, not a single townwide number.

State-Aided Housing: The Billerica Housing Authority operates several elderly and disabled housing developments in town, including the 64-unit Greenwood Complex and the 80-unit McCarthy Complex, both on River Street.

Business Complex Security in Billerica
Billerica hosts a number of business and office parks, including complexes like Forest Ridge Office Park in North Billerica, where multiple tenant companies share parking areas, lobbies, and building access points.

Hub Security and Investigative Group staffs business parks and office complexes with officers who monitor access, patrol common areas, and respond to incidents, giving every tenant consistent protection under one coordinated security plan.
