 As head of [[Security]], it is your responsibility to watch over the [[Brig]], [[Bridge]], and [[Courtroom]] areas and ensure Security Officers don't ruin everything. Your job isn't to hunt people down unless it's an urgent matter in one of the many places your ordinary security officers can't get into, so you can usually sit in your office and let the [[Roboticist#Securitron|securitrons]] and redshirts do it for you. You have more access to the station than anyone else in Security but less than the other heads. Try not to depend on it.
-'''IMPORTANT: Aside from the captain and Head of Personnel, you are the highest in the chain of command on the station. Be aware of the responsibilities this might entail.'''
+'''IMPORTANT: The Head of Security is the lowest in the Hierarchy of Captaincy, this means that you are the last in line to be the acting Captain.'''
 '''Bare minimum requirements:''' Try to keep your team alive, working together, communicating, concentrating on the bigger fish rather than small leeches, and not devolve into shitcurity.
-==Your Authority==
+==Your Team==
-You are concerned with the following people:
+===[[Security Officer|Security Officers]]===
-* [[Security Officers]]. These are your pawns, and it's your job to control them. Each of them is given an assignment when they sign up. If they're being assholes, yell at them and get them to fall in line - if they continue, throw them in the Brig for a little while. It's important not to let these guys run rampant because they can and will fuck everything up if you do. Remember, if they continue to be shit, bust them back down to assistant and kick them off the force.
+They are the main force of the security department and are responsible for handling any [[Game Mode|threats]] to the station. As the Head of Security (HoS), it is your responsibility to coordinate them and ensure they are working effectively. This requires:
-* [[Warden|The Warden]]. This is a unique security officer who acts as the Brig's watchdog. Make sure he doesn't set and support shitty brig times and that he doesn't leave the Brig while prisoners are present. He is next in the line of succession if you get bumped off and your most senior lieutenant.
+*Identifying potential [[Game Mode|threats]] to the station and determining the appropriate level of force needed to address them responsibly.
-* [[Detective|The Detective]]. A loose cannon at best, dangerous at worst. Generally, just let him do his thing. He's used to operating with a fair degree of autonomy from Sec. Remember to call him a loose cannon from time to time and be ready to send in the redshirts should he uncover something big.
+*Providing specific instructions to your officers based on the situation and their assigned departments, such as "patrol the station" or "ensure the safe arrival of the mindshield implant supplies."
-* [[Lawyer|The Lawyer]] whose job is to watch you and try to cite you for violating a guideline. Expect nothing but trouble from them - Your authority over them is questionable, although you are entirely within your rights to remove their Security radio access if it becomes an issue.
+*Monitoring the performance of your officers to ensure they are following proper [[Official:Space Law#Brig%20Procedures|procedures]], including brigging, and issuing appropriate sentences according to [[Official:Space Law|Space Law]]
-[[File:SecHq.png|300px|thumb|alt=Security Office|Your office is in the main [[Security Office]], complete with posh carpeting]]
+*Resolving any conflicts or concerns that arise between [[Security Officer|security officers]] and other crew members, which may involve corrective actions like reprimanding or demoting officers or even sentencing them for breaking the law.
-==Assignments==
+*Fostering a positive work culture within security, as teamwork and cooperation are essential to your department's & the station's success.
+It is important to use your position of authority responsibly and to cultivate a productive work environment. Be mindful of your officers' efforts and communicate effectively to bring out the best in them. Providing clear instructions and feedback, recognizing their achievements, and addressing any concerns or issues in a respectful and professional manner can help build trust and cooperation within your team.
+===[[Warden|The Warden]]===
+[[Warden|The Warden]] is the second in command and serves as the guardian angel of the [[brig]]. While it may initially seem that the [[Warden]] is not as important as other security personnel since they do not actively pursue suspects, their role is critical in the following ways:
+*Guarding the [[armory]] and ensuring the integrity of the [[Brig|brig.]]
+*Opening the [[armory]] for officers in case of [[Official:Space Law#Use%20of%20Deadly%20Force|threats that may require lethal force.]]
+*Ensuring the well-being of prisoners while they are serving their sentences.
+*Overseeing officers to correct any bad brigging procedures or wrongful sentencing.
+*Maintaining an Overwatch position, where they can monitor security records, cameras, and sensors to warn officers about potential [[Game Mode|threats]].
+A competent [[Warden]] will focus on these duties without needing to be reminded. However, occasionally a [[Warden]] may confuse their job description with that of a [[Security Officer|security officer]]. In this case, remind them that their place is in [[Brig|the brig]] and that pursuing suspects is the responsibility of other security personnel.
+===[[Detective|The Detective]]===
+[[Detective|The Detective]] is tasked with investigating crimes and gathering evidence. His job is to assist officers by providing them with leads, achieved through:
+*Scanning crime scenes with the [[Detective#The%20Forensic%20Scanner|forensic analyzers]].
+*Questioning and interrogating suspects to gain insight into a case.
+* Interviewing witnesses to verify the accuracy of other witnesses & the suspects statements.
+*Communicating evidence to the security department.
+* In rare cases, assisting [[Security Officer|security officers]] with emergency situations.
+It's important to note that the [[Detective|detective's]] role is not to apprehend criminals, but rather to investigate crimes and gather evidence for officers to make arrests. When there are no active investigations, [[Detective|detectives]] can assist by interrogating perma inmates to gather intelligence about their motives and [[The Syndicate|contractors]]. In rare emergencies the [[detective]] will be asked to step up in order to deal with the [[Game Mode|threats]] that the station is facing. As the HoS its your duty to ensure that the [[detective]] gets the access & the gear they need to help your officers. Once you have deputized your [[detective]] you may treat them much like a [[Security Officer|security officer]] until the [[Game Mode|threats]] have been dealt with.
+=== [[Brig Physician|The Brig Physician]]===
+While the [[Brig Physician]] works for the security department, you are technically not their supervisor. it's still important to understand their duties, which include:
+* [[Guide to medicine|Providing medical attention]] to injured security personnel.
+*[[Guide to medicine|Giving medical attention]] to injured prisoners.
+* Retrieving corpses.
+*Assisting security with [[Surgery|medical procedures]], such as implant checks or pacification surgeries.
+The [[Brig Physician|brig physician]] is '''NOT''' an officer, and they should '''NOT''' be involved in dealing with criminals or [[Game Mode|threats]]. It's also not recommended to deputize [[Brig Physician|brig physicians]], as they are essential for the survival of the security department. Without them, security personnel cannot be revived or healed, which can be detrimental to the department's effectiveness.
+===[[Lawyer|The Lawyer]]===
+Even though you are not their supervisor, it's beneficial to work with them for the following reasons:
+*Defending suspects during [[Guide to trials|trials]] to ensure that they are not wrongfully sentenced.
+* Advising officers on [[Official:Space Law|legal matters]] and providing guidance on proper procedures.
+*Representing the security department during [[Guide to trials|trials]] and legal proceedings.
+It's important to remember that lawyers are not part of the security force, and they should not be involved in apprehending or detaining criminals. However, they can be a valuable asset in the pursuit of justice and maintaining the rule of law. Keep in mind that you are never obligated to comply with any request a lawyer makes; consider them as mere suggestions.[[File:SecHq.png|300px|thumb|alt=Security Office|Your office is in the main [[Security Office]], complete with posh carpeting]]
+==Assignments ==
 Each officer is given an assignment when they join the game. Most will be assigned to guard one of the four major departments (Medbay, Research, Engineering, and Supply). Department guards are given a small security office and limited access and can use that department's radio channel. Department guards are also marked with color-coded armbands. It is your job to make sure a member of security staff each department. If a department becomes a hotspot for criminal activity, it may be a good idea to reallocate more men to that department.
-==Your Office==
+==Your Office ==
 Your office is in the [[Security Office]] and holds several weapons, devices, a [[recharger]], and both types of security terminals.
