Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

Sean, it was an honor working with you in the limited time we saw each other. Responding to your scene was nothing short of terrifying. I just wish we could of done more to keep you around for your daughter. I hope you take peace of mind knowing your family will be and has been well taken care of by the department and community.

Rest easy brother, we have the watch from here.

„Proszę przyjmijcie wyrazy najszczerszego 
współczucia i żalu.
Wiem że nikt i nic nie wypełni już tej luki 
w Waszych sercach,
lecz pamiętajcie że nie umiera ten 
kto trwa w pamięci bliskich. 
Przeznaczenie odebrało Cię 
zbyt szybko rodzinie i przyjaciołom,
ale nigdy nie odbierze Cię 
naszej pamięci i naszym sercom.”

"Somebody killed a policeman today, and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court, with counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids and spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too, just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast, to his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today, it happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors, a cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street, and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all, and a part of America died."

If I had to guess I would say that officer Sean was probably a nice caring kind guy but I don't know because this is all a guess. Me and many others like his infant daughter will never know what kind of person he was because of the events that took place on February 6th. Like many others I thank you for your services and hope you rest in peace.

May you Rest In Peace sir and may the lord comfort your family and friends. You made the ultimate sacrifice. Where others would run from danger you ran towards it and for that we can’t thank you enough. These tragedies are becoming far too common and it’s time for change in our communities. It’s time we start having our officers backs when we can by stepping up and helping to protect our communities. Even if that means when you see something say something. May God be with the citizens of Mckeesport and bring comfort during this tragic time.

Officer Sluganski, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the child that will never feel a father's love. May God immerse you and them in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
