As a mother of a police officer, I truly want to extend my sincere sympathy upon the untimely passing of your son, Sean. I know that my daughter wouldn't be happy doing anything else, despite the danger and risks of being a law enforcement officer. Your son paid the ultimate price in keeping the MIT community safe for all. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and continue to have a heavy heart at the loss of your son. May God be with you during your time of loss and healing.

It takes a special person to be an MIT officer. You have to know they see students in the midst of hacks and simply keep a watchful eye as they go about their hijinks. There are probably also moments they may have to stop students who are going a bit too far, and convince these incredibly bright kids that they might be making a poor choice that could affect them for a long time. And then there are the students who are at their absolute stress limits, who these officers might find doing things that could harm themselves or others. That ability to judge, moment to moment, how to handle the smartest people in the world as they strive and struggle and stumble through their young lives is a special gift. I sense from the little bit I have read of Officer Collier that he had that gift. It has been many years since I was at MIT, but we never forget our time there, to include all those seen and unseen who helped us through. My deepest sympathies to Officer Collier’s family and to the MIT community.
