Hub Security and Investigative Group provides trusted security in Medfield, MA, pairing licensed guards with genuine local knowledge of the community.
Half of Medfield was burned during King Philip’s War in 1675, just decades after the town’s 1651 incorporation as the 43rd town in Massachusetts. Its Peak House, rebuilt after that destruction and moved to its current site in 1762, is one of the earliest surviving examples of post-medieval English architecture in the country, and the now-closed Medfield State Hospital campus has since become a filming location for movies including Shutter Island.

How Hub Saves Medfield 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 Medfield, where historic properties and the redeveloped Medfield State Hospital campus sit close to residential neighborhoods — Hub can bundle coverage across both under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Medfield’s own history is remarkable: half the town was burned during King Philip’s War in 1675, just decades after the town’s 1651 incorporation as the 43rd town in Massachusetts. Its Peak House, rebuilt after that destruction and moved to its current site in 1762, is one of the earliest surviving examples of post-medieval English architecture in the country, and the now-closed Medfield State Hospital campus has since become a filming location for movies including Shutter Island. Hub’s licensed guards support both Medfield’s historic sites and its residential neighborhoods.
