RIP MIT Officer Sean Collier
"Policeman's Prayer"
When I start my tour of duty God,
Wherever crime may be,
as I walk the darkened streets alone,
Let me be close to thee.

Please give me understanding with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgment in a rash or callous way,
but let me hold my patience let each man have his say.

Lord if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life,
Lord, with your everlasting love
protect my children and my wife.

Condolence to Collier Family and MIT LEO's

My greatest respect for Officer Collier in his role in making my campus a safe and wonderful place to learn. My heartfelt condolences to his family and close friends in their loss. We lost a hero, but we will not forget.

Sean, a true Friend and co-worker. Your unselfishness and work ethic is unmatched. Always there when someone else needed you. May you Rest In Peace Brother. We will take it from here. Gone but NEVER forgotten.

My heart hurts at the loss of such a young LEO brother. He was taken to soon. There are jest no words to express how sorry I am .

RIP MIT Officer Sean Collier

A uniform, a gun, a badge upon your chest. These things make not super beings ... just men and women, human like the rest. Though sometimes taken for granted, or even viewed with scorn or spite ... Some eyes see you for what you truly are ... A shield against the night.

At times your job is thankless. Another shift has gone by, and not a kind word is spoken, not a single word at all. Those endless hours spent filling out reports bring nothing but boredom. A headache rages in your skull.

You may ask yourself if it is really worth it? There are many risks, no progress in sight. The answer is a simple yes my friend, for you are a cop, an officer ... A shield against the night.

An car overturned, a robbery, a chase, consoling a victim, whispering all will be well. A frightened child's hand is held, he is lost and out of place. The call of duty is answered no hesitation, no question. A champion to those who can not fight. You stand alone sometimes, the only thing between the darkness and the light.

A hero every minute, no matter how mundane the day. Take pride in what you do. Although very human, You my friend....are a shield against the night

Thank you for your dedicated service and your devotion to making humanity's trials a bit easier. We are grateful for your presence, and saddened immensely at your passing. Your example will not be forgotten. Our deepest condolences to you family and friends.

Requiscat in pace brother.
