The Head of Security is in charge of the Security forces on the ship. They command the Warden, Investigator, and Security Officers and make sure that they don't ruin everything.

Job Description

Your job isn't to hunt people down unless it's an urgent matter in one of the many places your normal security officers can't get into. Instead, you should focus on coordinating your department and keeping the rest of Command informed on any security situations going on. Communication is key, and information is power.

You are concerned with the following people:

• Security Officers: These are your pawns, and it's your job to control them. Ensure they aren't wasting company time and resources, or abusing their power. Ensure they are aware of any situations that need their attention. Alongside this, make sure they are equipped properly for the situation at hand. An underequipped officer won't be effective or last long. Remember, if the officers start to get rowdy, abusive, or ignore you, you have the power to punish and demote them.

• Warden: The Warden is the brig's watchdog. They shouldn't typically be patrolling, instead they should remain in the brig updating records, checking on prisoners, handing out equipment, and helping dispatch officers around the ship. Make sure they aren't abusing prisoners or setting unfair brig times, as well as handing out appropriate equipment for any situations at hand.

• Investigator: The job of the Investigators is to investigate crimes and crime scenes. They specialize in interrogating suspects and witnesses, analyzing evidence procured at a crime scene and pursuing leads. They are not trained to be officers in any way, nor are they trained to fight. Investigators cannot arrest anyone, at most they can detain someone but only if they have been through cadetship. Make sure they are investigating and documenting any open cases, or are supporting the officers when their skills aren't needed.

Strategy

Officers, Roll Out

The first step towards keeping the ship 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 Investigator collects any relevant evidence. Make sure that the Warden keeps the Security records up-to-date.

Laying Down the Law

Check to make sure that appropriate times are given out for violations of Corporate Regulations, and that your department only arrests 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 an 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.

El Capitan

It is also important that you understand the relationship between Security and the Captain. The Captain's authority on the ship is absolute, except where it conflicts with Corporate Regulations; 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 ship. Other Heads of Staff are required to follow Corporate Regulations as well. However, this does not mean that you are the law. You are still outranked by the Captain. You can only arrest the Captain, or other Heads of Staff, if they've actually committed a crime. Until that time, you have to follow orders just like anyone else.

Finally, always remember to follow standard security procedures!

Office

Your office is in the Brig. It holds various security equipment for use in apprehending and detaining criminals. Your office also has both a security records computer and a security camera potato which you can use to monitor the ship from the comfort of your desk chair.

Brig

The holding area for prisoners and the home of the Warden. Only people with access to security can enter, including First Responders. While the public can't view the cells, the communal cell has an electrified window facing out into space, as well as just a single reinforced wall between the communal cell and the maintenance tunnels. A crafty prisoner, or one with connections, could potentially escape with some effort or help.

The brig also has blast doors in all of the windows, as well as the halls into the cells. There's a button to drop them in the warden's office and your office.

Prisoners may try to flee, so do something about the doors (portable flasher), or handcuff them to the bed as you investigate their items (make sure to then release from the bed and cuffs if they aren't dangerous). And, SET A TIME TO THE TIMER (the door won't lock unless you do this). Make sure to keep the time to the crime. Thankfully, the sentencing computers in the processing cells print a paper with a pre-set time according the the charges levied. However, for Hold Until Transfer punishments, the timers are not compatible.

In the event that a prisoner has been deemed too dangerous to release, they can be kept in the secure holding cell.

Links to Other Departments

As Head of Security, you coordinate your actions with the captain, the other heads of staff, and your officers. You will often work with Medical, when a crime results in injury, when a prisoner is hurt, or when a patient is violent. When a criminal damages ship infrastructure, you will work with Engineering to determine what happened and whether it's safe for your officers to investigate. Supply and Research can get you high-powered weapons if you need them. And do try to keep the janitor from thoughtlessly cleaning up the evidence.

Communication is key, so make sure the rest of Command is up-to-date. That way, other departments can support you and your staff, as well as inform you when you need to support them.
