=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.

!The situations when lethal force is allowed can be:
|-
|'''Non-Lethal Weapons are ineffective''':
Hostile that can not be non-lethally detained.
|-
|'''Armed and dangerous''':
If a suspect is in possession of weapons or skills, lethal or non-lethal, and there is reasonable suspicion to believe that they will be used against security, or crew. This includes stimulants.
|-
|'''Multiple Hostiles''':
It can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles, and if it comes too, you may use lethals to force them to back off.

The Security Guiding Principles

  1. You are expected to function as a counter to criminals, antagonists, and all kinds of ne'er do wells!
  2. You are expected to follow Corporate Regulations when feasible, though alternative punishments can be applied within reason.
  3. Hardcore torture, MMI, or borging require explicit OOC consent.
  4. The head of your department is the “Head of Security”. If the captain demotes them, you are to remember that you work for the department, not the Head of Security.
  5. Crew life is valuable and you are expected to take the actions that will put the crew in the least amount of danger when dealing with threats.
  6. Being given the green light for lethals does not give you the permission to field execute someone.
  7. You can roleplay as a corrupt security member, however, do not use it to shut down roleplay or create a toxic environment.
  8. You are not to ignore antagonistic behavior that is a threat to the station.
  9. Understand Permanent Mechanical State.
  10. You can leave the station if there's a threat out in space or lavaland.
  11. CONTRABAND: Barring picking it up mid-fight, security shouldn't be using contraband, unless the alert is DELTA.
  12. All procedures on this page are OOC.
Good Faith

Good Faith should be starting point of your interactions; while they won't always go how you want, it's important to always be trying your best to focus on creating roleplay where possible, even in dire circumstances! This doesn't mean you have to ignore the mechanics on the game, be that fixing a girder, or getting in a fight, just that you shouldn't be playing this role, or any other with the sole-intention of putting roleplay in second-place!
