Bodyguard Hire in Boston, United States

Licensed bodyguard hire and close protection in Boston. Massachusetts DPS-vetted operators for corporate, academic, and biotech principals across the Financial District.

Boston is a low-risk environment for corporate principals, with BPD Crime Report 2025 recording low violent crime across the Financial District, Back Bay, and Seaport, and elevated crime confined to parts of Roxbury outside the corporate footprint. Most engagements here are driven by principal profile or event-security planning, the latter drawing on Boston’s experience following the 2013 Marathon bombing. The unusually short Logan airport transfer is an operational advantage. All close protection in Massachusetts is provided by operators licensed by the Department of Public Safety under MGL c.147, ss.22-30.

Detailed city context, including threat analysis and zone-by-zone risk notes, is available on the Boston city page. For transport security, see our vetted security drivers in Boston. For regional coverage, see our bodyguard hire in Chicago.
