Sincere condolences to Sean's family and the MIT Police Department, as well as the rest of the many communities affected. Many parents of adult children place their trust in the MIT Police to keep them safe. Sean lived up to this trust in an exemplary manner, as do all the MIT Police Officers. You have our sympathy, and our renewed respect and gratitude for doing a job that puts your safety second to the safety of those you protect.

I happened to administer an exam between 7:30-9:30pm in the Stata Center and left only around 10pm
on Thursday night. When I arrived home with my bike I received the emergency message from MIT
campus on my cell phone about this terrible event. Sean was there to make sure nothing would have
happened to me in case I would have stayed just a little longer. Thank you!

My condolences to the family.

Thank you for protecting us.

You truly embodied these values, making the greatest sacrifice so that we all might live. Thank you.

I have worked at MIT for eighteen years so I know the campus and certainly many of the faces. I cross Vassar Street at the crosswalk when I come into work at 8:20am or so, and I will always greet the officers and wish them a safe day. I had no idea just how powerful those words could be.

Law enforcement from all over got the bad guys but that doesn't bring you back or that sad feeling that I've had since Thursday night...

God bless you Officer Collier -- Rest in Peace.

You will be remembered for ever in our hearts for the sacrifice you made. Boston will never forget your fight and sacrifice against the Jihadi terrorists. I want your memorial to come up. May your soul rest in peace. For ever live liberty. May your family members gain enough courage to face the ugly truth. My salute to you.

What an exceptional man. How many campus police officers make so many dear friends? And how many campuses would express such love for their officers? Officer Collier's spirit will live on among us. May we all learn from his example. May his family find peace.
