'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Follow Space Law.

==The Peacekeeper==

[[File:Thebrig.png|300px|thumb|alt=Brig|The [[Brig]], your homebase]]

You are the sole guardian between the ideals of justice and the wild psychotics that your company has chosen to advance its interests in space. Just because everyone else is insane, however, does not mean you are permitted to go hog-wild and beat them all unconscious to strap them to beds. Professionals have standards.

==How to Do Your Job==

#Learn your surroundings.

#Equip yourself appropriately.

#Learn what to do when an emergency is called out and you're needed.

#Go patrolling and keep your eyes and ears open.

==Know Your Place==

Well, this page is designed to turn you from angry, bitter waste of supplies into a useful and productive member of the station community. A few things to immediately note:

*This ship is not a democracy. You take orders from the [[Head of Security]], who takes his orders from the [[Captain]], who takes his orders from [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|Central Command]]. This is a military [[Chain of Command]].

*The [[Warden]] has authority over the [[Brig]] and [[Prison Wing]]. You are required to follow his orders while you are there.

*Your essential job function is to keep the crew safe. ''You will inevitably fail at this task, more or less''. Like a breeding salmon, keep swimming against the rapids, bears be damned.

*Even though the station is doomed, do your best to keep the peace on station and you'll be the best officer there can be.

==Assignments==

Each officer is given an assignment when they join the game. Most will be assigned to guard a department. Department guards are given a small security office along with limited access, and are able to use that department's radio channel. Department guards are also marked with colour-coded armbands. While they are not required to remain at their post, it is their responsibility to protect it.  

'''Radio Key:''' .u

==[[Security Office]]==

[[File:SecHq.png|thumb|300px|The [[Security Office]] above [[Brig]]]]

The first step after you arrive is to find an unused security [[locker]] either in the brig's equipment room or at the arrivals security checkpoint. If it has all been claimed, ask the [[Warden]] for additional resources.

===Security Equipment===

'''[[Security_Items|See here what items you're about to use and how to use them.]]'''

'''[[Guide_to_security#Security_Equipment|See here how to equip yourself so you'll be ready for everything the station may throw at you.]]'''

====[[File:Recharger.gif]] Remember to Recharge!====

Always have your tools recharged after an arrest. If your [[flashes|flash]] is burnt out, get a new one from the lockers or security vending machine and hand your old one to a [[roboticist]]. Then take your baton or taser, pop them in the charger station in your security office or the [[Head of Personnel]]'s desk, and wait for the light to change from green to yellow. Having a charged stun baton is sometimes the difference between life and death.

==[[File:Donut.png]] Donuts==

Any good Security Officer always has some of these around at all times. They are delightful little munchables that can be obtained in a few ways. You can find an immediate supply in the donut boxes around the station, and you can get more from the SecTech in the equipment room. If there is a severe shortage of donuts, you can always get the [[Chef]] to make you more. There are four types of donuts.

[[File:Donut1.gif]] '''Chaos Donut:''' Only obtainable through the Chef. Kills you, due to a great deal of entropy caused by eating it.

==When Things Go Tits-Up==

You are most essential when chaos has broken out. When Joe Schmoe has decided to take the law into his own hands, it's usually with murderous and arbitrary intent. This cannot be allowed. If you are doing your job, it should never come to pass.

===[[Game Modes#Revolution|Revolution: Red Uniforms Does Not Mean Communism]]===

Sometimes [[traitor|syndicate forces]] will encourage the station crew to rebel against the Heads of Staff. This will not be a simple protest. It will be a riot culminating in multiple murders and a mutiny. Needless to say, you will be a target if you move to prevent this -- and you must move to prevent this.

When there has been proof established that a person has been brainwashed, detain them as normal and ask the Heads what you should do. Usually they'll want you to attempt to deprogram them. Request a loyalty implant from the Warden or Head of Security and they should visibly change their attitude when remembering their true allegiance. Barring that, apply your deactivated stun baton repeatedly to their forehead in a forceful manner. If death should occur without change, bring the body to the [[roboticist]]s.

===[[Game_Modes#Nuclear|Nuclear Operatives: Invaders, Possibly From Space]]===

There may be days when syndicate forces invade the station directly with the intent to use a nuclear device to destroy it entirely. Anyone who isn't crew is to be violently and sufficiently repelled. Detain them when able, confiscate everything, and eliminate when all other options are exhausted. Communication is most important right now. Ensure that the captain, or whoever bears the disk, is guarded at all times. If things go completely out of control, do what you must to get the shuttle called and the disk onto it. Trust no one if you can't see their face. It is not unreasonable to ask them to remove any masks and stun them to remove it yourself if they refuse.

===[[Game_Modes#Wizard|Wizard: Of Bed-knobs And Broomsticks]]===

When the [[Backstory#Space_Wizard_Federation|Wizard Federation]] has sent a representative, it is not in peace. You are facing no mere mortal. A [[wizard]] is a highly trained killing machine of unknown potential. Your stun baton will be useless. [[Tazer|Find]] [[energy gun|a]] [[laser gun|gun]]. You must keep your wits about you and your bravery steadfast! Stun the wizard, beat him unconscious, remove the clothing that gives him power, and don't stop hitting until his [[brain]] has exited his skull. The only good wizard is a dead wizard.

===[[Game_Modes#Gang War|Gangs: Gee, Officer Krupke]]===

When gangs take root on the station, you're in for a violent day. Most gangsters will be more occupied with growing their ranks, defending their turf and fighting enemy gangsters than with Security; however, it is still your duty to protect the station, keep the peace, and make sure they don't take over the station. Keep an eye out for suspicious behavior. Loyalty implants can deconvert gangsters and will identify gang bosses, but they can be removed or overridden. Trust no one. If a gang manages to put down a Dominator, destroy it.

===[[Game_Modes#Cult|Cult: Eldritch Criminal Scum]]===

Cultists of Nar-Sie, unless apprehended, can quickly overcome even the most prepared and robust Security crew. The [[Chaplain]] will be your best friend. Find him (assuming the cultists haven't gotten to him already), protect him, and work with him to produce holy water, which deconverts cultists after a short period of time. Otherwise, standard procedure about searches and loyalty implants applies. For more tips, read the [[Cult_magic#Fighting_the_Cult|cult guide]].

==Tips==

*Hold handcuffs and click on a pair of orange shoes (standard prisoner issue). Result: Leg cuffs!

*The riot gear gives you excellent protection against melee attacks at the cost of defense from bullets and lasers. The ablative armor is the same, except for lasers. The bulletproof armor is the same as the other two, but protects against bullets.

*Disablers deal 34 holodamage, take three hits to do anything more than slowdown, and can be reflected. However, they paralyze hulks, so they can safely be dehulked, they knock out wizards, so they can't cast anything, and if someone has been knocked out by it, they are down for however long it takes for them to sleep off the holodamage, no shaking them back up. ADDED: Disablers are nice to have as a sidearm, or if you want to pass out guns. They get twenty shots.

*After dealing with a criminal who has used a type of EMP make sure to check your Sec headset and reactivate the channels that are off since a EMP can forcefully turn these off.
