WEYMOUTH, MASS. — Drive through Weymouth today and the biggest visible change is Union Point, the sprawling mixed-use community rising out of the old South Weymouth Naval Air Station. But the town’s older character hasn’t gone anywhere: North Weymouth still looks out over Hingham Bay, East Weymouth’s Victorian streets surround a Town Hall modeled on Boston’s Old State House, and Weymouth Landing keeps reinventing its old shoe-factory storefronts one block at a time.

Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security guard services in Weymouth, MA — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Norfolk County town of 58,505 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate) on the South Shore, about 20 miles southeast of Boston. Weymouth is home to Union Point, a large-scale mixed-use redevelopment of the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station, Columbian Square and Weymouth Landing commercial districts, and waterfront neighborhoods along Hingham Bay and the Fore and Back Rivers.
Security Built Around Weymouth’s Districts
Union Point, the former Naval Air Station now being rebuilt into homes, retail, and office space over several phases, keeps construction site security in steady demand as new sections break ground. Weymouth Landing and Columbian Square, commercial districts built around older shoe-factory-era storefronts now filling with new shops and restaurants, benefit from consistent retail-area foot patrol. North Weymouth, with its waterfront development along Hingham Bay and Great Esker Park, and East Weymouth’s Victorian residential streets around Town Hall are both better served by discreet residential patrol than commercial coverage.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to the FBI’s 2024 crime data as compiled by NeighborhoodScout, Weymouth recorded zero murders, a violent crime rate of 2.28 per 1,000 residents, and a property crime rate of 8.29 per 1,000 — both below the Massachusetts state averages of 3.15 and 11.12 per 1,000, respectively. Even so, NeighborhoodScout’s combined index ranks Weymouth’s overall crime rate higher than about 71% of Massachusetts cities and towns, a pattern seen in several other Greater Boston communities where both major crime categories run below the state average but the broader index still lands well above the midpoint.
That profile supports a coverage plan built around steady, visible patrol across Weymouth’s commercial and redevelopment areas, paired with straightforward residential patrol in its neighborhoods, rather than a strategy weighted heavily toward either violent- or property-crime response.
