Incorporated in 1728 and named for a title held by King George II, Lunenburg is a Worcester County community of roughly 11,900 residents located about 43 miles northwest of Boston. For more than a century the town was home to Whalom Park, a well-known regional amusement park that operated until it closed in 2000, and today Lunenburg is governed by open town meeting with a five-member Select Board and Town Manager.

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides licensed armed and unarmed security guard services, mobile patrol, and private investigation services throughout Lunenburg, MA, a Worcester County town of roughly 11,900 residents known for its former Whalom Park amusement park, an active agricultural commission, and a mix of village-center and rural residential neighborhoods along Route 2 and Route 13. From mobile patrol security for residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors to private investigation services for local matters, Hub Security is licensed to operate across Massachusetts and familiar with Lunenburg’s small-town, semi-rural character.
Security Built Around Lunenburg’s Areas
- Lunenburg Center — the town’s civic and commercial core, where unarmed security guards support town events and local businesses.
- Whalom area — the residential area around the site of the former Whalom Park, where mobile patrol services provide regular drive-by checks.
- Route 2/Route 13 corridor — the town’s main commercial and travel corridor, where armed security guards can be stationed for higher-risk commercial sites.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
Third-party crime data on Lunenburg varies by source. NeighborhoodScout places Lunenburg’s crime index at 34 out of 100 and reports a higher overall crime rate than roughly three-quarters of Massachusetts cities and towns, while CrimeGrade.org gives the town an overall grade of A and ranks it in the 88th percentile nationally for safety. The two sources use different methodologies and don’t fully agree on magnitude, which is a useful reminder for property owners: publicly available crime statistics are a starting point, not a substitute for a site-specific security assessment of your home or business.

Why Lunenburg Businesses and Residents Choose Hub
- Massachusetts-licensed and insured. Hub Security is a fully licensed Massachusetts security guard and private investigation agency, so you are working with a compliant, insured provider rather than an unlicensed operator.
- Local, responsive coverage. As a Massachusetts-based company, Hub Security can deploy guards and patrols quickly across the region rather than relying on a distant national call center.
- Flexible service types. Armed, unarmed, mobile patrol, and private investigation services can all be scaled up or down based on your property, event, or investigation needs.
- Direct communication with management. Clients work directly with Hub’s operations team rather than being routed through multiple layers of a large franchise.
- Background-screened personnel. All guards go through a screening and licensing process consistent with Massachusetts security guard regulations.
- Custom security plans. Hub builds coverage plans around the specific risks and schedule of each property, rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages.
How Hub Saves Lunenburg 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 Lunenburg, where village-center and rural residential neighborhoods sit along both Route 2 and Route 13 — Hub runs one patrol route across both corridors instead of billing separately for each side of town.
Lunenburg’s own history includes a distinctive landmark: for more than a century the town was home to Whalom Park, a well-known regional amusement park that operated until it closed in 2000. Lunenburg is also home to an active agricultural commission, and Hub’s patrol plans cover that mix of former amusement-park land, working farmland, and residential neighborhoods.
