Idially you should act like the fun police.
Communication between yourself and fellow officers is key; ask if anyone needs anything...go around departments checking out if anyone needs help.
Once there is an antag that is OBVIOUSLY spreading harmful chaos - confine them. Best be that they still live through that. Don't let ANY PRISONERS just die due to neglegence.
Of course if there is an antag being a murdering rampager - go lethal; no biggie bout that.
But if you can solve a problem without killing anyone...please proceed to do so.
Now then; just because one found an antag it does not mean that you shild inherintly cuff them, brig them or make their round hell by just making them unable to do anything for the next twenty minutes. Give people a chance to live their roles out and don't de-brain the traitor clown 10 minutes in; who merely spawned in a clown car but didn't even use it so far.
As security you have to balance out all kinds of factors - but it is important to stick to your team and let them know what's up. Essentially you are playing the peaceful GANG mode. Security is your gang of fun.
Also...your fun-gimmick is to let prisoners just murder each other? Without you planning to clone them?
That is not cool dude. Not cool at all.
Imagine - clown stole a security officers baton. You managed to catch him. You brig the thief for three minutes; whoops you invoke your gimmick.
We are 15 minutes into the round. At the 20 minute mark the clown and several other not harmful crimers (probably not even antag) are dead due to your lying, planning and neglegence.
They might have to sit around for the next 40-60 minutes since they are dead. I'd be pretty salty about it if I was one of them prisoners.
Not to say one couldn't pull such a gimmick off...but please - if they were not rampaging murderboning crimers - go ask for volunteers.
Explain the rules to the volunteers and be honest about it. Telling them that only one will live through this and the losers body will be forwarded to the kitchen...and if they agree - go with it. Otherwise please make sure no crimer straight up dies due to you. I cannot stress that point enough.
Essentially:
- Be the fun-police.
- Protect citizens.
- Dish out justice swiftly and fair.
- Make sure prisoners do not die on your shift.
- Make sure arrests are not lethal if possible.
- Also my favorite tip...because I am personally always bugged out by security officers when playing the mime. Give the mime some god-damn paper and let it communicate. Watch it emote and give it time.
