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. There is a [[Space Law|protocol]] to be followed.

The first step after you arrive is to find an unused security [[locker]] either in the main office or any of the security checkpoints around the station. If it has all been claimed, ask the [[Warden]] for additional resources.

====[[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. Having a charged stun baton is sometimes the difference between life and death.

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]].

* 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.

* If you're wearing sunglasses/secHUD + a helmet/Warden's hat/HoS's hat OR a pair of earmuffs, flashbangs will only stun you for 5 seconds, otherwise you'll be down helpless for a full 20 seconds. This gives security 15 seconds (the same as a taser/stun baton) to slap the bracelets on the perp that’s too slippy to hit normally.

* Loyalty implants prevent someone from being rev'ed and deconvert revs. They also prevent someone from being culted but do not decult those tainted by the Dark Lord's power.

* As a Security Officer, when you see someone set to arrest, friendly ask them to follow you to the brig first. You'd be surprised how often people cooperate even when they are criminals, and it saves you the hassle of SHITCURITY and HELP ME. You can always stunbuckle them if they refuse.

* Examining shell casing tells you what kind of ammo it is. .38? Detective. .357? Traitor. 12mm? Nuke ops. ADDED: .357 and 12mm could also point to a wizard round. .38 for that matter, too.

* Once you have a combat mech, the only two things that can stop you is high level antags (wiz / nuke ops / ninja),toxins, and Ion Rifles (R&D can make them and there is one in the Armory). Deal with all of these, and you’re a god among men. And yes, a hulk is shit against a Gygax spamming ac 2 SMG fire as well as KO punching him at close range. And no, xenos are shit against a Gygax due to the KO punch then ac 2 SMG fire.

* Filling half of the pepper spray with wielding fuel and having a zippo in pocket is pretty flamy thing, it gives a lot of fun to aliens if they are horribly unrobust.

* You can "defuse" ticking syndicate bombs by blowing them up with smaller bombs. Minibombs are the best method to do this.
* 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.
