As Louisiana grapples with deadly police chases, sheriff calls new app a 'lifesaver'
BATON ROUGE - Police chases have killed five people in the capital area this year, including two members of law enforcement.
As the Louisiana legislature continues to debate the best ways to handle these chases, states like Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina have some counties using the Digital Siren app.
The app is free, and law enforcement would be able to send notifications to drivers' phones, warning them a chase is going on in their area.
"We want them to be looking out for that fleeing vehicle, whatever the situation might be," said Tim Morgan, a former high ranking sheriff's deputy in South Carolina and the creator of Digital Siren.
