WOBURN, MASS. — Security in Woburn, MA covers a city where Route 128 and I-93 meet just outside Woburn, and the office parks that have grown up around that interchange now house a Bio-Ready-certified biotech cluster and Skyworks Solutions’ corporate campus.
A few miles away, big-box retailers anchor the town’s commercial strips, and Horn Pond — the original source of the Mystic River and the reason colonists settled here in the first place — still borders some of Woburn’s quietest residential streets.
By Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager
Hub Security and Investigative Group provides security in Woburn, MA with professional security guard services — armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrol, and licensed private investigation services — for a Middlesex County city of 41,939 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate) about nine miles north of Boston.
Woburn is home to the TradeCenter 128 business campus, a designated Bio-Ready biotech community, the corporate campus of Skyworks Solutions, and major retail employers including Marshalls and Target.
Security Built Around Woburn’s Districts
The TradeCenter 128 business campus and the broader Route 128 corridor, home to Skyworks Solutions and a growing biotech cluster, call for corporate access control and after-hours facility security.
Woburn’s retail corridors, anchored by big-box stores like Marshalls and Target, need consistent retail loss-prevention and parking-lot patrol. Cummingsville, the city’s historic industrial and commercial district, benefits from steady commercial patrol.
And Woburn’s residential neighborhoods, including those bordering Horn Pond, are well served by discreet residential patrol.
What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
According to the FBI’s 2024 crime data as compiled by NeighborhoodScout, Woburn recorded zero murders, a violent crime rate of 2.10 per 1,000 residents, and a property crime rate of 9.07 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 Woburn’s overall crime rate higher than about 74% of Massachusetts cities and towns, a pattern seen in several other Middlesex County 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 Woburn’s commercial and corporate corridors, paired with straightforward residential patrol in its neighborhoods.
