BRUSLY - The Brusly Police Department is rolling out new technology that could help save lives. 

Thursday afternoon, law enforcement officers held a news conference in partnership with the Town of Brusly and Jason Gill,  the father of Caroline Gill who was killed in a police chase two years ago. Together, the team demonstrated how the Pursuit Alert technology will work.

Citizens can download the Digital Siren app to get started. Once you set up the app with your location, it will alert you if there are any police chases within a certain radius. All an officer has to do is push a button in their vehicle to send out the signal. 

"We're here to save lives. We want to try and reduce the risk as officers are maneuvering up and down the highway," Gill said. 

Gill's daughter, Caroline, was in the car with her best friend, Maggie Dunn, and Maggie's brother Liam when their car was T-boned by Addis police officer David Cauthron during a police chase. Cauthron was going 86 mph and ran a red light. 

Maggie Dunn and Caroline Gill both tragically died in the crash, and Dunn's brother Liam was severely injured, requiring a lengthy hospital stay in order to recover.

Jason Gill and Caroline's mother ultimately sued the Addis police officer involved in the chase, David Cauthron. 

Cauthron was sentenced to 10 years for two counts of manslaughter.
