MIDDLEBOROUGH, MASS. — Ocean Spray’s world headquarters sits inside this Plymouth County town of 24,505 residents, anchoring an identity local officials have branded “the Cranberry Capital of the World.” A few miles away, the Christmas Tree Shops’ main distribution facility moves inventory across the Northeast. Both operations sit alongside a town center still built around a 148-year-old Victorian town hall and a Nemasket River waterway that powered shoe and mill industries for two centuries.

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Middleborough, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Plymouth County town of 24,505 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate) roughly 35 miles south of Boston. Middleborough is home to Ocean Spray’s world headquarters, the Christmas Tree Shops’ main distribution facility, and roughly 1,400 acres of active cranberry bogs.
Security Built Around Middleborough’s Districts
The town’s mix of corporate headquarters, distribution logistics, and a historic downtown creates distinct security requirements. At the Ocean Spray campus and surrounding business corridor, Hub provides corporate security services for facility access control and perimeter checks. Near the Christmas Tree Shops distribution center and adjacent warehouse properties, Hub provides construction site security during expansion projects and mobile patrol for after-hours yard coverage. In Middleborough Center, along Center and North Main streets, retail shops and restaurants rely on retail security services. Outlying residential streets and the South Middleboro area use residential security guard coverage.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
Middleborough recorded a violent crime rate of 4.35 per 1,000 residents in the most recent reporting year, according to NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of FBI-reported crime data — above the Massachusetts state average of 3.15 per 1,000. Property crime was reported at 6.32 per 1,000 residents, below the state average of 11.12 per 1,000. NeighborhoodScout’s most recent data recorded zero murders in Middleborough that year, and ranks the town safer than 37 percent of U.S. cities on its combined crime index.
The numbers point to a town where violent crime runs slightly higher than the state norm while property crime runs lower. That pattern matters for coverage planning: a town with major distribution and corporate facilities, several miles of rural roadway, and a compact commercial center needs patrol density concentrated differently than a townwide average would suggest. Hub Security and Investigative Group builds Middleborough coverage plans around the town’s actual reported incident patterns, not a single blended number.
