Hub Security and Investigative Group provides licensed, insured security guard services in Sterling, MA.
Sterling was originally “Chocksett,” the Second Parish of Lancaster, before incorporating as its own town in 1781 and taking its name from Revolutionary War officer General William “Lord Stirling” Alexander. Interstate 190 runs directly through Sterling, along with Routes 12, 62, 140, and 110, making it a well-connected central Massachusetts crossroads. The town is home to Davis Farmland and the Davis Mega Maze, Sholan Park with beach access on Lake Waushacum, and the annual Sterling Fair each September. Sterling is also popularly — though only by local legend, not documented history — associated with the “Mary Had a Little Lamb” nursery rhyme through resident Mary Sawyer and the town’s old Redstone School.
By Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager
Hub Security and Investigative Group provides licensed armed and unarmed security guard services, mobile patrol, and private investigation services throughout Sterling, MA, a Worcester County town of roughly 8,200 residents known for its agritourism attractions and its location along I-190. From mobile patrol services for large event venues and farm properties to unarmed security guards for fairs and public gatherings, Hub Security is licensed to operate across Massachusetts and familiar with Sterling’s mix of highway corridor and rural character.
Security Built Around Sterling’s Areas
- The Davis Farmland / Davis Mega Maze area — a major seasonal attraction drawing large visitor crowds, where unarmed security guards support crowd management and site security.
- Sholan Park and Lake Waushacum — a recreational area with beach access, where mobile patrol services cover parking areas and surrounding residential properties.
- The I-190 / Route 12 corridor — Sterling’s commercial and highway-facing corridor, where corporate security supports business properties.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to City-Data.com, Sterling’s 2025 crime index of 20 runs roughly 11.6 times lower than the U.S. average, with a violent crime rate of 35.8 per 100,000 residents and a property crime rate of 10.7 per 100,000, both well under national norms, and both categories trending downward over the past five years. That’s a strong baseline, but Sterling’s seasonal draw — thousands of visitors for the Sterling Fair, Davis Farmland, and the Mega Maze — creates crowd and parking-lot exposure that a low year-round crime rate doesn’t fully capture, which is where event security staffing comes in.

Condo, Apartment & Construction Site Security in Sterling, MA
Hub Security and Investigative Group is a fully licensed and insured Massachusetts security guard agency, carrying general liability coverage on every contract so property managers and boards in Sterling, MA have a certificate of insurance on file before a guard ever steps on site. That licensing and insurance backs three property types we’re asked about most in Sterling, MA: condominiums, apartment communities, and active construction sites.
Condo & HOA Security: Condo associations in Sterling, MA count on Hub for gate and common-area coverage, visitor logging, and enforcement of parking and noise rules set by the board, with a single point of contact for the property manager instead of a rotating cast of guards.
Apartment Community Patrol: For apartment complexes in Sterling, MA, mobile patrol and overnight foot patrol cut down on package theft, trespassing, and lease violations in parking lots and common areas.
Construction Site Security: With Interstate 190 and several state routes running through town, Sterling, MA sees steady commercial and residential construction — Hub provides after-hours patrol to deter copper and tool theft, verify that gates and equipment are secured overnight, and log every entry and exit for the general contractor’s insurance file.
All Hub Security officers are certified in crowd control, useful at condo and apartment community events like HOA annual meetings and holiday gatherings, as well as move-in/move-out days at larger complexes. Every officer assigned to a Sterling, MA property completes Hub’s in-house training and is background-checked and licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts before their first shift.

Why Sterling 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 Sterling 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 Sterling, where the town’s role as a central Massachusetts crossroads brings commercial and recreational sites along Interstate 190 and Routes 12, 62, 140, and 110 close to residential neighborhoods — Hub can bundle a commercial or recreational property into the same patrol route as nearby homes instead of billing each separately.
Sterling’s own history and local color set it apart: originally “Chocksett,” the Second Parish of Lancaster, the town incorporated on its own in 1781 and took its name from Revolutionary War officer General William “Lord Stirling” Alexander. It’s home to Davis Farmland and the Davis Mega Maze, Sholan Park with beach access on Lake Waushacum, and the annual Sterling Fair each September, and is popularly — though only by local legend — associated with the “Mary Had a Little Lamb” nursery rhyme through resident Mary Sawyer and the town’s old Redstone School. Hub’s patrol plans cover both Sterling’s commercial crossroads and its residential and recreational areas.
