In 1756, a Uxbridge widow named Lydia Chapin Taft cast a legal vote in town meeting, 164 years before the 19th Amendment made women’s suffrage the law of the land nationwide — a distinction still celebrated in this Blackstone Valley town today.

Why Uxbridge 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 Uxbridge 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 Uxbridge, where mill buildings along the Blackstone River sit close to residential neighborhoods — Hub can bundle coverage across both under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Uxbridge’s own place in history is remarkable: in 1756, a Uxbridge widow named Lydia Chapin Taft cast a legal vote in town meeting, 164 years before the 19th Amendment made women’s suffrage the law of the land nationwide — a distinction still celebrated in this Blackstone Valley town today. Hub’s licensed guards support both Uxbridge’s historic mill properties and its residential neighborhoods.
