One citizen posted a video of the siren being used, writing: “As if things aren’t bad enough, the Crowley Louisiana police department played The Purge siren to notify its citizens of the evening curfew.”
Police in a Louisiana town used a siren that sounded terrifyingly similar to the one used in dystopian slasher film The Purge to enforce coronavirus lockdown.
We were not involved in the use of the ‘Purge Siren’ and will not utilize any type of siren for this purpose.”
“Last night a ‘Purge Siren’ was utilised by the Crowley Police Department as part of their starting curfew,” it read.
