About 40 to 50 Malden Police officers will congregate in the Superfitness parking lot, walk to the Orange Line and travel to MIT's memorial service for fallen officer Sean Collier Wednesday morning. 

It is likely the largest participation off officers in such an event in the department's history, Chief Kevin Molis said. 

Collier's wake was held Monday in Stoneham, along with a funeral Tuesday.
