Although I never met Sean, I did have the pleasure of meeting several members of the MIT Police Department as a former MIT employee. I found everyone I met to be personable, genuine, and overall good people...so I just know Sean was the same. My heart just breaks for his family, lost future, and the MIT Police Department and Community. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I wanted to express my condolences for Officer Collier's family, friends, fellow officers, and the MIT community. I went to MIT some years ago, and the CPs were an integral part of the MIT community, and keeping it safe. I am so thankful for, and the MIT community is so blessed to have, officers of the caliber of Sean Collier.

I am so very sorry for these events, and I will keep Sean Collier in my prayers. Thank you so much, those who serve and protect. We don't say thank you enough, and I'm sorry it's taken events like this to get me to express those thoughts.

The MIT Police are our friends and protectors. Sometimes it is hard to explain that to people for whom the police are seen as a threat. Whether is to report a possible intruder in the wee hours, or let us into an office when we forgot our key, Sean and his fellow officers were there for us - with cheerfulness and ability. We grieve over this terrible loss.

As an MIT alum (MIT '88), I offer my sincerest apologies. While on campus, it was easy to take the MIT Police for granted - Sean's contribution and sacrifice remind me of how important each and every one of us are to the welfare and lifestyle that we enjoy in the United States. I am deeply indebted to people like Sean and I am deeply sorry for his unfortunate passing.

My heart goes out to this young man's family and friends. As an MIT alum of many years back, I appreciate first hand the efforts of past, present, and future campus officers who do so much to protect MIT's vast campus and environs. All our thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve this young life taken too early.
