Security Tactics: A strategy guide

[SimianC]

• Use your PDA. Harder to intercept than radio, harder to miss a message, can be used when you can't speak so good for sending out that dying SOS
  

With one of the recent updates, the AI intercepts all PDA messages, making this even more useful. 

Keeping in regular contact with the AI (and Borgs to an extent) as security is never a bad idea, they have a wide array of tools available and it gives them something to do. With their cameras, intercoms, and intercepted PDA messages, the AI is privy to most conversations and goings-on that occur on station. 

The AI is capable of summoning the Port-A-Brig, Port-A-Medbay, and Port-A-Nanomed, to any location on station, potentially saving a life or ending conflict before it has a chance to escalate. Setting folks to arrest (or requesting the AI do it) and ordering the AI to summon securitrons to their position is a great way to surround someone or cut off their escape route.
