MIT Police

It is with tremendous sadness that the MIT Police Department announces the sudden passing of Sergeant Brian J. Sousa. Sergeant Sousa served our community for 23 years and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2011. Before being promoted, Sergeant Sousa served in various roles in the patrol division and was an integral part of the MIT Police Honor Guard Unit. Brian, you will be remembered for your friendship, leadership, your generous spirit and incredible smile.

This year the MIT Police will be hosting a Holiday Community Food Drive! Donation bins will be set up in our police station vestibule at 301 Vassar St from 11/22/2021 thru 12/15/2021. Any canned food or non-perishable food items that you can donate will be greatly appreciated!

Public Service Announcement: We have received complaints of people riding bicycles, skate boards and other wheeled devices inside the corridors of the main group.

Please remember: In Institute buildings or parking structures, it is prohibited to operate bicycles, in-line skates, skateboards, or any other form of wheeled personal transportation except for medical devices such as wheelchairs and scooters. A fine will be imposed.

The use of these items pose a safety concern and could lead to a potential hazardous situation.
