WESTFORD, MASS. — A Middlesex County town that hosts the headquarters of NETSCOUT Systems and a stretch of corporate offices along Route 110 posted a violent crime rate of 0.68 per 1,000 residents in the most recent reporting year, according to FBI data compiled by NeighborhoodScout. That figure is less than a quarter of the Massachusetts state average. Hub Security and Investigative Group has expanded its coverage map to include Westford, pointing to the town’s tech-corridor office parks and ongoing construction near the Route 110/Route 3 interchange as the main drivers of new client demand.

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Westford, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Middlesex County town of 24,690 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate) in the Merrimack Valley. Westford is home to NETSCOUT Systems’ corporate headquarters, MIT’s Haystack Observatory, and offices previously or currently held by Red Hat, Samsung, and Seagate along the Route 110 corridor. The town’s Forge Village and Graniteville sections date back to its 19th-century mill and granite-quarrying industries.
Security Built Around Westford’s Districts
The Route 110 corporate corridor carries the highest concentration of office and tech-company real estate in town. Hub Security assigns corporate security officers to campuses and shared office parks along that stretch.
Westford Center, the town’s traditional downtown, mixes municipal buildings with small retail and restaurants. Hub Security posts retail security coverage there during peak shopping periods and public events on the town common.
Forge Village and Graniteville, both former mill and quarry villages, are now largely residential. Hub Security runs residential security patrols through these neighborhoods on request from homeowners and property managers.
New commercial and multi-family development near the Route 110/Route 3 interchange has brought a steady flow of construction site security assignments, protecting equipment and materials on active job sites.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
Westford recorded a violent crime rate of 0.68 per 1,000 residents in 2024, according to FBI data compiled by NeighborhoodScout — well below the Massachusetts state average of 3.15. Property crime came in at 3.40 per 1,000 residents, less than a third of the state average of 11.12, and zero murders were recorded in the most recent reporting year. NeighborhoodScout ranks Westford safer than 73% of U.S. cities on its overall crime index.
The low crime numbers have not slowed demand for security services. Westford’s employers, from NETSCOUT’s headquarters to smaller tenants in the Route 110 office parks, cite access control, after-hours building security, and background screening of contractors and new hires as their primary concerns — not street crime. Construction crews building along the Route 3 corridor report equipment theft and vandalism as their leading security issue, a pattern typical of active job sites regardless of a town’s overall crime rate.
