MIT Police

🎃 Happy Halloween! We hope everyone has a fun, safe, and spooktacular Halloween! 👻

Officer Barrett had two special visitors stop by the substation while trick-or-treating tonight! These two junior police officers were excited to meet her and get a picture together. 😊

Thank you to Kathleen and Ellen for adding a new arrangement to the Collier Memorial for November!

Today, on National First Responders Day, we recognize those who serve our communities every day, including our own officers. We’re grateful for the police & fire departments and EMS agencies we work with throughout the year. Thank you for your commitment to showing up for others.

We had a great time tonight at our Pumpkin Decorating event. Our officers & dispatchers enjoyed getting into the Halloween spirit with the graduate student families. Thanks to everyone who spent the evening with us! We hope you all have a fun & safe Halloween week 🎃

Thankyou to our friends at the Sigma Nu House for inviting us over to meet with everyone last night. It was great to have the opportunity to speak with all of you! Your kindness is appreciated! Please let us know if you need anything! The MITPD
