WESTFORD, MASS. — Security in Westford, MA covers 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.
By Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager
Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security in Westford, MA with professional security guard services — 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 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 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 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.

Condo, Apartment & Construction Site Security in Westford, 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 get 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 for security in Westford, MA: condominiums, apartment communities, and active construction sites.
Condo & HOA Security: Condo associations that need security in Westford, 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, mobile patrol and overnight foot patrol cut down on package theft, trespassing, and lease violations in parking lots and common areas, another reason property managers turn to Hub for security in Westford, MA.
Construction Site Security: Hub provides after-hours patrol for active construction sites, deterring copper and tool theft, verifying that gates and equipment are secured overnight, and logging every entry and exit for the general contractor’s insurance file — part of how Hub delivers security in Westford, MA around the clock.
All Hub 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 security in Westford, MA completes Hub’s in-house training and is background-checked and licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts before their first shift.
Business Complex Security in Westford
Westford’s Route 110 corridor is home to major corporate campuses — including NetScout Systems’ headquarters — alongside numerous smaller office parks and business complexes that share parking lots and common entrances in this Route 495 tech-corridor town. Hub Security and Investigative Group provides property managers with a single, coordinated security plan covering the entire site, dividing the cost across every tenant business rather than leaving each one to arrange its own coverage. That shared approach keeps entrances, parking areas, and after-hours access consistently monitored, addressing risks that are far more difficult for any single tenant to manage alone.
Hub officers staffing Westford’s business complexes and office tenant events hold current Massachusetts Crowd Manager certification through the MA Department of Fire Services, along with CPR/First Aid and Narcan (naloxone) certification, so a tenant appreciation event or a building-wide gathering gets an officer certified to manage occupancy limits and respond to a medical emergency until first responders arrive — not just a uniform standing by the door.
