Raynham traces its roots to 1639, when Elizabeth Pole founded the area as part of Taunton; it incorporated separately in 1731. The Taunton Iron Works, which operated in Raynham and Taunton from roughly 1656 to 1876, is considered the first successful iron works established in Plymouth Colony, and today the town is also home to Wat Nawamintararachutis, reported to be one of the largest Thai Buddhist temples outside Thailand.

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Raynham, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Bristol County town of 16,579 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, July 1, 2025 estimate). Raynham Center serves as the town’s traditional village core, and the Taunton River and Two Mile River both run through town.
Security Built Around Raynham’s Districts
- Raynham Center — the town’s traditional village core, covered through mobile patrol.
- Route 44 corridor — the town’s major retail and commercial corridor, covered through retail security services.
- Residential neighborhoods along the Taunton and Two Mile Rivers — covered through residential security guard services.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to NeighborhoodScout’s analysis of FBI-reported crime data, Raynham’s violent crime rate is about 2.46 per 1,000 residents and its property crime rate about 10.97 per 1,000, giving the town an overall crime index of 29 out of 100 — a higher crime rate than roughly 81% of Massachusetts municipalities.
Given that property-crime profile, many Raynham businesses along the Route 44 retail corridor add mobile patrol and background-checked staffing on top of standard security coverage.

How Hub Saves Raynham 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 Raynham, where commercial properties along Route 44 sit close to residential neighborhoods and cultural landmarks — Hub can bundle coverage across all of them under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Raynham’s own history and culture are genuinely distinctive: the town traces its roots to 1639, when Elizabeth Pole founded the area as part of Taunton, and it incorporated separately in 1731. The Taunton Iron Works, which operated in Raynham and Taunton from roughly 1656 to 1876, is considered the first successful iron works established in Plymouth Colony, and today the town is also home to Wat Nawamintararachutis, reported to be one of the largest Thai Buddhist temples outside Thailand. Hub’s guards provide protection for both Raynham’s commercial corridors and its residential neighborhoods.
Licensing, Insurance, and What Hub Offers in Raynham, MA
Hub operates under Massachusetts Private Detective Firm License #LP0203L, held since 2004, and every Raynham, MA contract — a Route 44 retail tenant, an apartment community, or a riverside home — is backed by a $3 million general liability insurance policy. Ask any security vendor working in Raynham, 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 Raynham Center, the Route 44 corridor, and riverside neighborhoods.
- Properties and risk profiles in Raynham, MA that require a firearms-certified officer are covered by Armed security guards.
- Unarmed security guards — uniformed officers for Route 44 retail centers 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 community and cultural events, including gatherings near Wat Nawamintararachutis.
- Private investigation and background checks — conducted under the authority of Hub’s LP0203L private security and detective license.
Why Raynham’s Apartment and Condo Communities Choose Hub
A multi-unit condominium or apartment community in Raynham is exactly the kind of property where shared entryways, parking areas, and common grounds mean a single unlocked door or unmonitored lot puts every unit at risk, not just one. A condo association or property manager at any of Raynham’s multi-family properties, can put a Hub officer on a scheduled evening patrol across the whole complex rather than each resident arranging separate coverage, backed by the same $3 million liability policy and license that covers every other Raynham, MA contract.
The same logic applies to Raynham’s Route 44 retail corridor. A shopping center or standalone store doesn’t need a full-time in-house guard, but benefits from Hub’s retail security services and mobile patrol during business hours, when a visible officer deters shoplifting and parking-lot incidents along one of the town’s busiest commercial strips.
What to Verify Before Hiring a Security Company in Raynham, MA
Not every company offering security guards in Bristol County is actually licensed to do so. Massachusetts requires a security guard agency to hold a state license under Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security oversight, and a firm that also wants to run background checks needs the separate private security and detective license Hub already carries as LP0203L. Before signing with any provider in Raynham, MA, ask for the license number, a current certificate of insurance naming your property as an additional insured (Hub carries $3 million in general liability coverage), and proof of officer training including Crowd Manager certification for event work.
A national security chain covering southeastern Massachusetts typically dispatches from an out-of-state regional office and rotates officers with little familiarity with a specific town’s layout. Hub is Massachusetts-based, holds its Private Detective Firm license and $3 million liability policy locally, and keeps a consistent set of officers assigned to Raynham, MA accounts so familiarity with Raynham Center, the Route 44 corridor, and the riverside neighborhoods builds over time. Contact Hub or request a quick quote to schedule a property assessment for your Raynham, MA home, business, or event.
Arranging Patrol Coverage for Raynham, MA
Hub handles mobile patrol scheduling in Raynham directly, whether a property needs an ongoing route or coverage for a single event. Multiple Raynham properties under one manager can usually be served by a single patrol loop rather than separate bookings. Hub is proud to be a steady presence for property owners throughout Raynham.
Security Throughout Raynham, MA
Wherever a property sits in Raynham, Hub builds its patrol routes and guard assignments to match, so coverage doesn’t taper off outside the town center. Residential, commercial, and retail properties across Raynham all get the same attention.
Hub’s Standard for Guards Serving Raynham, MA
Background checks come before the first shift for every guard Hub assigns in Raynham, and supervisors drop in unannounced to verify posts are staffed as scheduled. Rather than a call center, Raynham property owners get a dispatcher who already knows their site. It’s this combination — vetted staff, real oversight, direct contact — that makes Hub a partner rather than just a vendor.
Condo, Apartment, and Business Complex Security in Raynham
Apartment communities like Chestnut Farm Apartments, along with the condominium associations throughout Raynham, share entryways, parking areas, and mailrooms in a town along the Route 44 corridor. Hub Security and Investigative Group provides officers who patrol common areas, monitor visitor access, and respond to incidents around the clock, so residents and unit owners don’t have to arrange coverage individually. Splitting the cost of a professional security presence across an entire community is considerably more affordable than any one household managing it alone.
Business complexes and office properties in Raynham, positioned along the Route 44 corridor, depend on consistent security to manage shared parking, multiple entrances, and after-hours access across several tenants at once. Hub Security and Investigative Group provides licensed, uniformed officers who patrol the grounds, secure access points, and coordinate directly with property managers and individual businesses on shared protocols. A single contracted security team covering an entire property costs far less per tenant than each business arranging its own coverage, while keeping one accountable team responsible for the whole complex.
Hub officers are also trained and certified to staff public and private events in Raynham — 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 Raynham 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.
