Security Risks Facing Boston Businesses & Properties

Boston reports approximately 28 crimes per 1,000 residents annually, with property crimes accounting for the majority. For commercial property owners and managers, this highlights the importance of proactive, on-site security—not just reactive response.

Theft & Vandalism

Unsecured construction sites and retail locations in Boston remain frequent targets for theft and property damage, leading to operational disruption and financial loss.

Liability Exposure

Without professional fire watch or controlled access measures, property owners may face significant legal liability and insurance complications if an incident occurs.

Delayed Incident Response

While law enforcement plays a critical role, non-emergency alarm responses may not provide immediate on-site presence. Dedicated security personnel ensure rapid intervention.

Fire Watch & Code Compliance Risk

Older buildings and active renovations across Boston can trigger fire system outages, forcing a shutdown without dedicated fire watch coverage.

Frequently asked questions

Are your security guards licensed in Massachusetts?
Yes. All Chai Life Security guards hold current licenses issued by the Massachusetts State Police. They undergo rigorous background checks—including CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information)—and receive site-specific training before deployment.
What is the difference between armed and unarmed guards?
Unarmed guards are ideal for deterring crime, enforcing rules, and customer service roles (e.g., residential lobbies, retail). Armed guards are specially trained and licensed to carry firearms, suitable for high-risk environments like banks, jewelry stores, or areas with specific threat assessments.
Do you offer short-term or temporary security services?
Yes. Chai Life Security provides temporary security for events, construction projects, fire watch requirements, and emergency coverage. We can deploy guards with short notice across the Greater Boston area.
How do I know the guard is actually on site?
For static guard assignments, every Chai Life Security guard logs real-time GPS checkpoints throughout their shift, and you receive a full activity report at the end of each day. For event deployments—where staffing is spread across multiple access points, perimeters, and interior positions—our dispatchers conduct regular check-ins with all posted personnel and you have a dedicated point of contact throughout the event who can give you a live status update at any time.
How much do security guard services cost?
Pricing varies based on factors like risk level, armed vs. unarmed, number of hours, and contract duration. Rates across our New England service area typically range from $30–$60+ per hour. Contact us for a precise, transparent quote tailored to your budget.
