When the canister is removed from its base, a 108-decibel alarm alerts those nearby to a threat, while simultaneously notifying designated staff, including resource officers and on-site security, via text and email. Safety protocols can immediately be put into action.

Threat Extinguisher now provides a canister of tactical-grade pepper gel that can be used as a last resort to disable the assailant from a distance of 20 plus feet. The gel also uses an ultraviolet dye to help identify the assailant if they flee.
