Always loved and appreciated MIT police's support, when I was an undergraduate there.

It is part of the fabric of MIT community and this is such a unfortunate situation.

My sincere condolences.

My prayers go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of this remarkable officer. Officer Collier was one of those many that provided me the opportunity to learn in a safe environment when I attended MIT - thank you, Sean!

While the MIT police probably rarely get credit, they keep the campus, the students, the faculty, and visitors safe in an urban environment. They deal with the unexpected and clearly work hard to keep it a safe environment for learning and innovation. We are sad to hear about the loss of Office Collier and thank him and his fellow officers for what they do for the MIT community.

To Officer Collier's friends, family and colleagues:
As a grad student from 2000 who spent alot of time in W32, I often crossed paths w/ MIT police officers. Always friendly, always helpful. From everything I have heard and read, Officer Collier was that and more -- and we are all the lesser without him. I wish I had met him. My deepest sympathies.

I am so sorry about the tragic events of last Thursday that led to Officer Collier's loss of life. He died protecting my community and beyond. In fact, it appears that his death probably prevented other deaths from happening since it set into motion a chain of events that led rapidly to the capture of the suspects. For that and for his dedication to MIT and law enforcement he is a true hero. I will do whatever I can in the future to honor his memory.

In my four years at MIT, I never felt unsafe or unprotected for even a moment thanks to the MIT Police. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Collier and his family on this truly tragic passing. Thank you so much for your service, it means the world to all of us that are or ever were a part of the MIT community.

I send my condolences and greatest sympathies.

When I was an MIT undergrad long ago, I always felt safe on campus and even off. When I had a bad accident at my fraternity house in Kenmore Square late at night, MIT police were there to take me to the infirmary.

Thank you, Officer Collier. Godspeed.

As a state certified fellow campus police officer, I want to personally thank you and your family for your outstanding service. We never, ever want one of us to go home before our time. However, giving your life for your country and community in order to identify the Boston Bombing Terrorists is a great achievement. My prayers are with you and yours. Thank You

The protection of the innocent is a calling that very few are strong enough to assume. All of us who have attended M.I.T. thank you officer Collier and grieve for you and your family.

Speaking as the son of a retired Watertown Police Officer and speaking as a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1990), I wish to express my deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of Officer Collier. No words can bring him back, no sense can be made of this -- my only hope is that you are able to find strength in the strong communities involved. That some of your pain and sorrow can be taken on by all of us and that you all get through this as best as you can.

All of our thoughts and our prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Thank you. I can't think of any words to write that won't be trite and meaningless compared to your sacrifice.

Cowards take lives. Heroes protect them. Sean Collier is a true hero. His courage will never be forgotten.

To all the MIT police, who took the same risk last week and wouldn't hesitate to do so again next week: thank you for your protection and service to the community.
