Protecting Somerville's Squares, Businesses, and Communities
.avif)
Somerville's crime rate sits at approximately 26.9 per 1,000 residents, with activity concentrated near its busiest squares and transit hubs. As one of the most densely populated cities in New England and a fast-growing hub for redevelopment, Somerville's mix of retail squares, residential density, and major commercial projects creates security demands that generic patrol services aren't built to handle.
Davis Square and Union Square draw heavy foot traffic and nightlife activity, making storefronts and parking areas frequent targets for theft and vandalism after hours.
Somerville's dense population and MBTA access create elevated exposure for vehicle break-ins and larceny around transit-adjacent commercial areas.
Seaport Boulevard's retail corridor draws after-hours theft and vandalism without on-site security.
Somerville's mix of older triple-decker housing stock and active new construction can trigger fire system outages that force a shutdown without dedicated fire watch coverage.
