Job Description
Your job isn't to typically hunt people down, unless it's an urgent matter in one of the many places your normal security officers can't get into. You have more access to the station than anyone else in security, try not to depend on it too much.
You are concerned with the following people in your department:
- Security Officers: These are your pawns, and it's your job to control them. If they're being incompetent resource wasters, yell at them and get them to fall in line. If they continue, tell them to stop or have them demoted. A security officer that does not do his job properly shouldn't even have this job in the first place.
- The Warden: This is a special security officer who acts as the Brig's watchdog. Make sure he doesn't set and/or support unfair and bad brig times, that he doesn't leave the Brig, and he won't bother you. He also hands out equipment in emergencies, and will take over if you happen to be unavailable.
- Corrections Officer: The prison's watchdogs. They are placed in a office within the prison to watch over your scums of the Earth; you shouldn't need to order them around too much. Just make sure they keep an eye on the orange men.
- The Detective: The job of the detective is to investigate crimes. They specialize in interrogating suspects and witnesses, and pursuing leads. They are firmly under your command, with some exceptions, regardless of what they may say.
Strategy
Officers, Roll Out
The first step towards keeping the station safe is to ensure that your own officers aren't a threat. Security enforces the law, but they are not above it - and neither are you. Make sure that all of your personnel are familiar with the regulations regarding Corporate Regulations, and standard Security practices.
Once your force is up to speed on the rules and regulations, send them out on patrol. Pay attention to all the radio channels for any calls for help. If there are any, dispatch some officers to handle it, and make sure that the Detective collects any relevant evidence. Make sure that the Warden keeps the Security records up-to-date, not in the least because Beepsky can help your officers catch criminals who would otherwise evade them.
Police the Station
Like the Captain, you have a number of people you can delegate to. You should be using them to coordinate your officers instead of doing everything yourself. Within the brig, your Warden has authority over others; you should be using them to coordinate the handing out of equipment and supervision of the Corrections Officer.
Laying Down the Law
Check to make sure that appropriate times are given out for violations of Corporate Regulations, and that your department only arrest people who have actually committed crimes. Remember, if they're doing something that you don't like but is technically not against the law, you can issue an official injunction - preferably in a official sounding language, written, and stamped with your Head of Security stamp - against it. Expect abuse of this power to be called out, however.
If one of your officers misbehave, yell at them, or in more serious cases, show them the inside of a cell. Keep them busy by sending them on patrols, leads, and follow-ups. An unoccupied officer is often a bad officer.
The Captain
It is also important that you understand the relationship between Security and the Captain. The Captain's authority on the station is not absolute. The Captain cannot pardon criminals, cannot get away with committing crimes, and so on. The only time that Corporate Regulations can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the station. Other Heads of Staff are required to follow Corporate Regulations as well. However, this does not mean that you are the law. You can only arrest the Captain, or other Heads of Staff, if they've actually committed a crime.
Finally, always remember to follow standard security procedures!
