Security - The Thread

[Tombi]

Hey, I play security semi-regularly and one of the problems that bothers me is the lack of cooperation between officers. Sure we might know an antags name and shout out their location or whatever but beyond that it boils down to a bunch of lone wolves trying to enforce the law (maybe this okay since players should choose how they want to play?). But the number of times we end up arriving at a scene separately and get picked off individually gets me down. The way I see it Security teams should be (partially) organized effort and one suggestion I have would be something really simple like pairing security officers into small squads - possibly even give one of them a squad leader title; this could have a duel effect of making us more effective (power in numbers and all that) and it gives us a stronger 'bond' with our other officers i.e. I would be much more likely to trust an officer I was working with throughout the round than a new recruit. Just as a reference for this I got the idea from a round in which the detective let me be their jr detective and it was a lot more fun than I would have guessed it would be.
