To the Collier Family, the MIT Police Department, the MIT Community, and all First Responders: Officer Collier, like many of MIT's Finest, has many friends on the campus and, I'm certain, off the campus as well. I didn't know Officer Collier, but I had worked with MIT Campus Police on other occasions and always found the officers to be police, helpful, and very compassionate.

If things unfolded as they should have, Officer Collier would have served as a Police Officer for many years, whether at MIT or with the Somerville Police. His new beat is Heaven--never doubt, he is still on the job!

Dear colleagues at the MIT Police Department,

I am profoundly sad for the loss of Officer Sean Collier, a generous and immensely promising young man. I am terribly sorry for the loss that this must represent for all of you in the MIT Police Department. We appreciate more than ever your selfless service and dedication to the safety of the MIT community. This is a noble cause that as we have tragically seen, can also be deadly dangerous.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Collier family who raised an exceptional young man. No words could properly reflect how in debt we are to Sean nor how much his service has meant to our country.

I never got the chance to meet you Sean but from what I hear, your someone who I won't ever forget. It weighs heavy on my heart that your young life was cut short because of someone else disregard for life. May your soul finds peace and this is never good bye. Godspeed to your family, friends and fellow MIT brothers.

The police do such a remarkable job keeping us safe - but seldom get the recognition they deserve. Sean, you are a true hero. Thank you for your service.
