Hub Security and Investigative Group has been a trusted security partner for Kingston, MA property owners for years.
Kingston’s Jones River Landing is described as the longest continuously run boatyard in North America, a link to the town’s long shipbuilding and ice-harvesting history along Kingston Bay. Growth accelerated with the construction of Route 3 in the 1950s and the reopening of MBTA commuter rail service in the 1990s, which now connects Kingston directly to Boston.
By Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager
Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Kingston, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Plymouth County town of 14,027 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Kingston sits on Kingston Bay with village areas including Rocky Nook and Delano’s Wharf, and is served by an MBTA Commuter Rail station on the Kingston Line.
Security Built Around Kingston’s Districts
- Kingston Center — the town’s civic core near the MBTA station, covered through mobile patrol.
- Route 3A / Main Street corridor — the town’s commercial and retail strip, covered through retail security services.
- Rocky Nook and Delano’s Wharf — waterfront residential areas along Kingston Bay, covered through residential security guard services.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of FBI-reported crime data, Kingston’s violent crime rate is about 2.21 per 1,000 residents and its property crime rate about 6.71 per 1,000 — both below the Massachusetts state averages of 3.15 and 11.12. NeighborhoodScout rates Kingston’s overall crime index at 44 out of 100.
As a commuter-rail town with a busy Route 3A retail corridor, Kingston’s security requests often combine retail patrol with waterfront residential coverage.

How Hub Saves Kingston Customers Money
Consolidating under one Hub contract also tends to cost less than piecing together separate vendors for guards, patrol, and investigative work: one onboarding process instead of several, no coverage gaps that force you to pay a second vendor’s overtime rate to fill them, and one predictable monthly invoice instead of surprise call-out fees. That matters in Kingston, where waterfront boatyards along Kingston Bay and commercial growth near the Route 3 and MBTA commuter rail corridor both need dependable coverage without hiring separate vendors for each.
Kingston’s Jones River Landing is described as the longest continuously run boatyard in North America, a link to the town’s long shipbuilding and ice-harvesting history along Kingston Bay. Growth accelerated with the construction of Route 3 in the 1950s and the reopening of MBTA commuter rail service in the 1990s, which now connects Kingston directly to Boston. Hub’s guards understand both Kingston’s working waterfront and its growth as a commuter community.
Licensing, Insurance, and What Hub Offers in Kingston, MA
Hub operates under Massachusetts Private Detective Firm License #LP0203L, held since 2004, and every Kingston, MA contract — a Route 3A retail business, a Rocky Nook waterfront home, or a Treetop Condominiums unit — is backed by a $3 million general liability insurance policy. Ask any security vendor working in Kingston MA for their license number and proof of insurance before signing; a legitimate provider will produce both without hesitation.
- Mobile security patrols — scheduled or randomized vehicle routes covering Kingston Center, the Route 3A corridor, and the waterfront villages.
- When a property or risk profile in Kingston, MA calls for a firearms-certified officer, Armed security guards cover it.
- Unarmed security guards — uniformed officers for retail, commercial, and residential properties.
- Crowd-certified event management — officers holding current Massachusetts Crowd Manager certification through the MA Department of Fire Services, plus CPR/First Aid and Narcan (naloxone) certification, for waterfront and Kingston Center events.
- Private investigation and background checks — covered by Hub’s LP0203L private security and detective license.
Why Kingston’s Condo and Apartment Communities Choose Hub
Treetop Condominiums on Treetop Lane, and apartment communities like The Point at Kingston, are exactly the kind of properties where shared parking areas and common entrances mean a single unmonitored corner puts every resident at risk, not just one. A condo association or property manager at either, or at any of Kingston’s other multi-family properties, can put a Hub officer on a scheduled patrol across the whole community rather than leaving coverage to individual residents, backed by the same $3 million liability policy and license that covers every other Kingston, MA contract.
The same logic applies to the retail plazas along Route 3A: a Hub mobile patrol route covering several storefronts in one loop costs less per property than arranging separate security for each business.
Whether you need a licensed guard, a mobile patrol route, or a private investigator, Hub is the Kingston MA provider property owners call first for documented, insured coverage.
Choosing a Security Company for Kingston, MA Properties
Not every provider offering security in Kingston can back up what it claims. Request a license number, proof of insurance, and local references before signing anything. Hub has all three ready, and its supervisors make unannounced site visits to keep coverage consistent.
Booking Mobile Patrol Coverage in Kingston, MA
Property owners in Kingston can book a recurring mobile patrol or one-time event coverage directly with Hub. Managers who oversee several Kingston properties often find it more economical to combine them into one patrol loop instead of scheduling separately. Hub has enjoyed serving the Kingston community with steady, professional patrol work.
Kingston, MA Properties, Wherever They Sit
Hub doesn’t concentrate coverage in one section of Kingston. Guard assignments and mobile patrol routes are planned around each property’s specific location, so a property farther from the center gets the same attention as one closer in.
How Hub Staffs Security in Kingston, MA
Every guard Hub places in Kingston clears a background check first, and unannounced supervisor visits confirm shifts are actually covered. Property owners in Kingston skip the call center and go straight to a dispatcher who knows the site. That combination of vetting, supervision, and direct contact is what makes Hub a partner, not just a vendor.
Emergencies Don’t Wait, and Neither Does Hub, in Kingston, MA
Because emergencies at Kingston properties don’t wait for business hours, Hub’s dispatch line doesn’t either — it’s staffed 24/7 by a live person who can send a guard or contact local police. Reach that line at (617) 857-1200, any hour of any day.
Before Hiring Security in Kingston, MA, Check the Insurance
A property owner in Kingston who hires an underinsured security company can end up personally liable if something goes wrong — a guard injury, a third-party accident during a patrol. A legitimate provider has proof of coverage ready to show. Hub carries $3 million in general liability coverage on every Kingston contract.
Condo, Apartment, and Business Complex Security in Kingston
Apartment communities in Kingston, including properties like The Point at Kingston, share entryways, parking lots, and mailrooms that benefit from one consistent security presence rather than residents each fending for themselves. Hub Security and Investigative Group provides patrol and access-monitoring services that a property management company or condo association can budget for collectively, spreading the cost across every unit instead of leaving individual tenants to arrange their own coverage. That shared approach means faster response to suspicious activity near shared entrances or parking areas, and steady coverage that benefits the whole community.
Kingston’s business and commercial properties, including offices near the Kingston Collection and smaller professional buildings along Route 3A, often share parking areas and after-hours exposure with neighboring tenants. Hub Security and Investigative Group provides patrol coverage and access control that a property owner or group of tenants can split across every business on site, rather than each company paying for separate security. That shared arrangement keeps costs manageable while giving tenants a consistent, visible security presence during business hours and after the doors close for the night.
Hub officers are also trained and certified to staff public and private events in Kingston — from town festivals and community gatherings to a condo association’s holiday party or a business complex’s tenant 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 combination means an officer staffing a crowded Kingston event isn’t just a visible presence — they’re certified to manage occupancy limits and respond to a medical emergency until first responders arrive, which is the standard property owners and event organizers should expect from event security.
