A life safety system for mitigating injuries and fatalities to occupants of a multi-zone structure comprising a plurality of controllers, and coupled to said controller, a plurality of digital imaging devices, a plurality of locking mechanisms, a plurality of dispersion points for the dispersion of at least one dispersible substance, and a plurality of thermostatic members. The life safety system further comprises at least one monitoring location physically removed from at least one of said controllers and from at least one of said dispersion points and from at least one of said locking mechanisms and from at least one of said thermostatic members.

A computer system detects a trigger event, which includes detecting an unverified user within the premises. A notification is provided regarding the detected trigger event to one or more authorized users distinct from the unverified user. Further, a first user input responsive to the notification and corresponding to instructions to execute a first security protocol is received from a first authorized user of the one or more authorized users. In response to receiving the first user input, the first security protocol is executed. Executing the first security protocol includes presenting to the unverified user an authentication request and monitoring the premises for a response to the authentication request. Furthermore, executing the first security protocol includes executing or declining to execute a second security protocol based on the response to the authentication request.

Disclosed are various embodiments for security systems for schools and similar structures. Various security devices may be monitored in a structure, such as a school, where at least one of the security devices includes a wall-mounted duress alarm, an electronic keypad, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, a card access reader, a decibel meter, a smoke detector, or a mobile computing device. In response to a signal from one of the security devices being indicative of a breach having occurred in the structure, a predetermined breach policy may be automatically implemented that may include, for example, compartmentalizing a region of the structure by performing an automated closing of a door that separates the region of the structure from another region of the structure.

To readily and effectively take a crime and disaster prevention countermeasure, there is provided an information processing apparatus including an acquirer that, when a crime and disaster prevention assistant device is connected to a portable communication terminal, acquires specifying information for specifying the crime and disaster prevention assistant device from the crime and disaster prevention assistant device via the portable communication terminal, a driver executor that executes a driver program corresponding to the specifying information to control the crime and disaster prevention assistant device, and an application executor that executes a crime and disaster prevention application program corresponding to the specifying information to acquire status detection information detected by the crime and disaster prevention assistant device connected to the portable communication terminal, specifies countermeasure processing corresponding to the acquired status detection information with reference to a management database, and controls the crime and disaster prevention assistant device via the portable communication terminal based on the countermeasure processing.

A safety enclosure, detention, and surveillance system with a walled enclosure with impact resistant walls, an entrance door and exit door located in an inner scanning chamber, a storage chamber located in inner scanning chamber, an x-ray metal detector with a conveyor belt, a walkthrough metal detector, a gas ionization explosives detector, and a weapons depository unit. The inner storage chamber further contains an air conditioning unit and a sedation material unit for storage and release with ports to access the inner scanning chamber by which the sedation dispenser can pump sedation material from the storage chamber into the inner scanning chamber and render a threat incapacitated.

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for using an anomaly deterrent sensor within a self-service machine for dispensing physical items. The present disclosure is configured to: detect an interaction between a payment instrument with available resources and a self-service machine for dispensing physical items; receive an anomaly notification from an anomaly deterrent sensor within the self-service machine for dispensing physical items wherein the anomaly notification is associated with forced entry into the self-service machine, wherein the anomaly deterrent sensor detects forced entry into a physical item dispensing area within the self-service machine during the interaction between the payment instrument and self-service machine; and trigger a set of security measures associated with the self-service machine for dispensing physical items upon reception of the anomaly notification originating from the anomaly deterrent sensor, wherein the set of security measures comprises playing a pre-recorded alarm.

A non-lethal electronic defense device comprising one or more effects such as light, sonic, ultrasonic, infrasonic, chemical, electrical, or mechanical devices capable of causing intense sensations of disorientation, distress, incapacitation, and/or pain for the purpose of protecting a public or private space from an intruder or attacker exhibiting an intent to cause harm to physical inhabitants or destruction of property therein.
