PEMBROKE, MA — Between 1678 and 1871, shipwrights along the North River in Pembroke built 1,025 vessels, including the Beaver, one of the ships involved in the Boston Tea Party. That maritime history is still visible along the North and Indian Head Rivers that border the town, even as Pembroke has grown into a Plymouth County residential community of nearly 18,400 people.
By Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager
Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Pembroke, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Plymouth County town of 18,382 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Pembroke’s village areas include North Pembroke, East Pembroke, and Bryantville, and the town borders the North River and Silver Lake.
Security Built Around Pembroke’s Districts
- Pembroke Center — the town’s civic and commercial hub along Route 14/27, covered through retail security services.
- North Pembroke and East Pembroke — residential village areas, covered through residential security guard services.
- Bryantville and the North River corridor — covered through mobile patrol.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of FBI-reported crime data, Pembroke’s violent crime rate is about 0.98 per 1,000 residents and its property crime rate about 3.58 per 1,000 — both well below the Massachusetts state averages of 3.15 and 11.12. NeighborhoodScout ranks Pembroke’s combined crime rate lower than 69% of U.S. communities.
As a low-crime residential town, Pembroke’s security requests typically involve residential coverage and retail patrol along its main commercial corridor rather than response to an active crime pattern.

How Hub Saves Pembroke 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 Pembroke, where properties along the North and Indian Head Rivers sit close to residential neighborhoods — Hub can bundle waterfront coverage with residential checks nearby under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Pembroke’s own maritime history is remarkable: between 1678 and 1871, shipwrights along the North River in Pembroke built 1,025 vessels, including the Beaver, one of the ships involved in the Boston Tea Party. That maritime history is still visible along the North and Indian Head Rivers that border the town, even as Pembroke has grown into a Plymouth County residential community of nearly 18,400 people. Hub’s guards shield both Pembroke’s riverfront properties and its residential neighborhoods.

Why Pembroke’s Condos and Apartment Communities Choose Hub
Condominium and apartment communities in Pembroke MA benefit from a visible, professional security presence that discourages break-ins, vehicle theft, and vandalism while giving residents confidence in their community. Properties such as Pembroke Woods on Pembroke Woods Drive and Center Commons Condominiums represent the kind of multi-unit residential communities where scheduled mobile patrols, entrance coverage, and rapid incident response make the biggest difference for both boards and residents.
Hub works directly with property managers and condo boards in Pembroke to design a coverage plan that fits the property’s layout and budget, whether that means overnight patrols of parking areas and common spaces, an unarmed guard stationed at a main entrance, or armed coverage during higher-risk periods. Our guards are trained to document and report issues professionally, so association boards have a clear record of activity on their property.
What to Ask Before Hiring Security in Pembroke, MA
Not every company offering security services in Pembroke can back up its claims. Ask to see a guard license number, current proof of insurance, and references from properties they already cover in the area. Hub provides all three on request, backed by supervisors who make unannounced site checks so coverage doesn’t slip.
Scheduling Mobile Patrols in Pembroke, MA
Hub schedules recurring mobile patrol checks and one-time event coverage in Pembroke directly, without a call center in between. Property managers overseeing more than one site in the area often combine stops into a single loop rather than paying for separate visits. Hub is glad to provide protection for the Pembroke community with dependable, professional coverage.
Pembroke, MA Properties, Wherever They Sit
Hub doesn’t concentrate coverage in one section of Pembroke. 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.
What Pembroke, MA Clients Can Expect From Hub’s Guards
Every Hub guard working in Pembroke passes a background check before their first shift, and supervisors make unannounced visits to confirm posts are actually staffed, not just marked complete on paper. Property owners in Pembroke deal directly with a dispatcher who knows the site, rather than working through a call center. That mix of vetted staff, real supervision, and direct communication is what separates a security partner from a guard-for-hire vendor.
Round-the-Clock Coverage in Pembroke, MA
Hub doesn’t let after-hours calls go to voicemail — a property in Pembroke with an alarm trip or break-in reaches a live dispatcher at any hour, who can send a guard or coordinate with local police. That dispatch line, (617) 857-1200, is staffed 24/7 for exactly these situations.
The Real Cost of Skipping Insurance Checks in Pembroke, MA
An uninsured security company can turn a workplace injury into a personal liability problem for a Pembroke property owner. Before signing, ask to see proof of general liability coverage — a legitimate provider will produce it without delay. Hub maintains $3 million in general liability coverage on every contract in Pembroke.
Tailoring a Security Plan for Pembroke, MA
Before any post order is written for a Pembroke property, Hub walks the site — a retail storefront, an office, and a residential complex don’t share the same coverage needs. That walkthrough becomes a written plan with patrol routes, check-in points, and escalation steps that every guard on the property follows.
Condo, Apartment, and Business Complex Security in Pembroke
Condominium communities like Pembroke Village Condominiums share entryways, parking areas, and mailrooms where residents have little control over who comes and goes unless someone is actively managing access. Hub Security and Investigative Group works with condo trustees and property managers to provide officers who patrol common areas, check visitor access, and respond to incidents on-site. For an association, splitting the cost of a professional security presence across every unit is far more affordable than individual owners each trying to arrange their own protection, and it gives the whole community a consistent standard of coverage.
Multi-tenant business properties such as Corporate Park in Pembroke, near Route 3 on the Marshfield line, need security that can manage shared parking, loading areas, and after-hours access across several tenant businesses at once. Hub Security and Investigative Group provides licensed, uniformed officers who patrol the grounds, secure entry points, and coordinate directly with property management and individual tenants on protocols. One contracted security team covering the entire park is considerably less expensive per tenant than each business arranging separate coverage, while placing accountability for the whole property in a single place.
Hub officers are also trained and certified to staff public and private events in Pembroke — 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 Pembroke 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.
