On behalf of the men and women of the Pittsfield Police Department, our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Collier's family and loved ones, together with all of the members of the MIT Police Department and campus community. Sean is an example of all that is best within American law enforcement. He now stands his eternal watch with St. Michael and all his fellow officers who have made the supreme sacrifice. His sacrifice serves as an inspiration to all who serve, and a reminder of the evils that we face on behalf of our communities. Stay safe and keep the faith. RIP Officer Collier.

We knew Sean at East Campus. We respected him. Many of us had contact with him, even fleetingly, even in difficult times. It is so sad to think that our time with him is broken -- time with someone who was sensitive and caring to those around him. We will remember his human decency, which can inspire us all.

In the words of Sean's Stepfather:

"Every day they go out to keep us safe from the people who do evil in the world. I think we need to applaud them because one night it could be them walking down a dark alley."

Thank you, Sean for keeping my son, Michael, who works at MIT, safe.
