A special device installed in the school is a pepper spray called " Threat Extinguisher ". Pepper spray is a tear drop spray used for crime prevention purposes, and you can disable raiders when you spray them. Threat Extinguisher 's can is placed in the case and it is installed on the walls of all the schools in the school district, and this case is connected with the communication system. Therefore, when the glass of the case is removed and the spray is taken out, a warning is instantly sent to the teacher and related organizations.

"When cans are taken out of the cabinet, thousands of text messages and e-mails are sent, the authorities are called, and the location information of where the cans were taken out As a result, when the authorities arrive at the scene, we are in a state where we already know where to go. " Because the text message is also sent to the teacher, the teacher knows the whereabouts of the assailant soon, judges "Should I leave the building?" "Is it away from the attack place?" "Is it okay to shut down the building?" , You will be able to guide students to a safe place.

In this way, the Threat Extinguisher is characterized by the system rather than the effect of the pepper spray itself. The effective range of the spray itself is about 7.6 meters.

The introduction of Threat Extinguisher was not done by each school voluntarily, so it seems because it was decided that in the consultation with the community "even if you pay more than $ 25,000 (about 2.8 million yen) you should purchase". However, due to the mechanism similar to the fire alarm, concern about the risk used for mischief purposes is concerned.
