Crotega Interior Threat Suppression System for any single zone or multiple zones. When deployed, the Crotega Interior Threat Suppression System significantly irritates the senses and debilitates attackers, giving In-House Responders and law enforcement time to secure the area and control the situation. The system includes warning decals and signage to help prevent violence from an active shooter before it starts. This international patent-pending system is the first of its kind, with applications in schools, public buildings, commercial buildings, air- port terminals, medical marijuana industry facilities, banks, military facilities, and any other facility at risk of violent perpetrators. Deployment Test See a deployment test with an 18-year-old high school volun- teer at the Crotega Research Center. The volunteer was given the task of placing items in locations and searching for a $20 bill to determine if deploying the threat suppression system would deter, disrupt, and delay the volunteer from his task.

Activated via a system touchscre en, the Crotega Interior Threat Suppression System releases short bursts of water with nontoxic additives from the ceiling on the source of the threat. It is non-lethal – causing significant irritation to eyes, nose, throat, lungs and skin—virtually immobilizes the perpetrator until in-house responders intervene or law enforcement arrives. 3
