!Brigging
|-
|
=== Brig Procedures ===
When a suspect is brought to the brig, either in cuffs, or not, you should contact the warden/HOS ahead of time, and have either of them get ready to process them as they arrive.

* If they're a suspect, they should be brought to a cell or interrogation as soon as possible, with their items stored in said cell.
* You can detain someone for 10m without charges. Time spent '''detained''' must be subtracted from their sentence when charged. There is no double jeopardy for charges.
* If you are planning on a longer interrogation, you must do so while their timer is running and you can not keep them longer than their sentence without:
** For most crew, their head.
** For non-department-workers, the HOP.

Detainees under 25 minutes may keep their communication devices. Communication devices may be confiscated for longer sentences.
|-
|
=== Prison Procedures ===
In the case of a sentence that is longer than 25 minutes a suspect will be processed for the prison if possible.
|-
|
=== Executions ===
Executions can be carried out if the person is routinely violent during detainment/arrest/holding. The HoS must authorize it. The Captain/AC can authorize in the absence of the HoS.

With an exception for [[Corporate Regulations#hostilelifeform|Hostile Non-Typical Lifeform's]], or immediate risk to life without doing so, all executions should be carried out by the HoS or Warden.

'''Note:''' Declaring someone as '''D'''o '''N'''ot '''R'''evive is considered posthumous authorization of an execution.
|-
|
=== Implant Searches ===
Security can perform implant searches with probable cause.
|-
|
=== Labor camp ===
The Labor Camp, sometimes referred to as Gulag, is an alternative punishment method that may allow for detainees to be released earlier through work.

=Use of Force=
As a member of security you have access to strong non-lethal gear for taking down foes and troublemakers alike, but there are times when using them would simply be ineffective and you have to resort to lethals.

|-
|'''Non-Lethal Weapons are ineffective''':

Hostile that can not be non-lethally detained.

|'''Multiple Hostiles''':
