Using the method and system herein, the Police Incident Commander is able to clearly distinguish the positions of his building entry teams (BETs) in the building relative to the position of the suspect through a graphic display of Friend and Foe designation whereupon he can precisely direct their maneuver to close with the suspect. The incident commander communicates to a Command and Control Center to arm non-lethal chemical canisters pre-located in “Hot Zones” for use in remotely incapacitating the intruders. When the intruders, boxed in by the BETs, enter a “Hot Zone” the incident commander gives the command to release the non-lethal chemical/smoke, ammonia spray that disorients and blinds the intruders allowing the BETs to safely end the incident. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building comprising: a plurality of emergency activation transmitters, and a plurality of a security sensors adapted to receive signals from the emergency activation transmitters; a plurality of video cameras; a nonlethal disruption device; a security alarm panel, wherein the security sensors, video cameras and nonlethal disruption device are all operatively linked to the security alarm panel; wherein the security sensors and video cameras are all adapted to be installed in a building; a plurality of detectors installed in the building and operatively connected to the security alarm panel, wherein the detectors are selected from the group consisting of motion sensors, infrared detectors, RFID readers, sound detectors, smoke detectors and heat detectors; wherein the nonlethal disruption device is adapted to be installed in a hot zone in the building; and wherein the security alarm panel is adapted to display the building floor plan, and the floor plan displays by different icons and different component types of icons the location of each of the security sensors, the video cameras, the detectors, and the nonlethal disruption device, and further wherein the hot zone is also displayed on the floor plan. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of nonlethal disruption devices adapted to be installed in a plurality of hot zones in the building. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein the security alarm panel is adapted to be located in the building. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein the security alarm panel is adapted to be located outside of the building. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, further comprising a tactical computer that is operatively connected to the security alarm panel that enables a user of the tactical computer to observe the building floor plan and the different icons and different component types of icons and their location upon activation of the emergency activation transmitter. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein at least some of the plurality of detectors are installed proximate the hot zone in the building. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 2, wherein at least some of the plurality of detectors are installed proximate each of the hot zones in the building. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein the detectors are motion detectors. ### Claim 9 (depends on 2) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 2, wherein the hot zones are located proximate the entrance areas to the building. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein the security alarm panel display is visible to a law enforcement agency. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein the icons on the display of the security alarm panel are adapted to change colors. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system to engage a suspect in a building with nonlethal countermeasures inside the building as described in claim 1, wherein the hot zone contains at least three nonlethal disruption devices installed therein.
