Protecting Watertown's Businesses, Residents, and Communities
.avif)
Watertown's crime rate sits at approximately 24.5 per 1,000 residents, with activity concentrated along its busiest retail corridors. As home to Arsenal Yards—one of the region's largest mixed-use redevelopment projects—and a growing base of biotech and office space, Watertown's mix of retail, commercial, and residential density creates security demands that generic patrol services aren't built to handle.
Arsenal Street and Mount Auburn Street's shopping corridors draw heavy foot traffic, making parking areas and storefronts frequent targets for theft and vehicle break-ins.
Watertown's growing base of biotech and office space along the Arsenal on the Charles corridor sees inconsistent after-hours occupancy, creating exposure that on-site security and patrols are best positioned to close.
Active construction and redevelopment projects like Arsenal Yards create job sites that are frequent targets for theft of tools, materials, and equipment.
Watertown's mix of historic mill buildings and new construction can trigger fire system outages that force a shutdown without dedicated fire watch coverage.
