Best way to be a tough but fair det?

[NanoDano]

I typically play det like you would play a security assistant, arresting people is the last thing you wanna be doing. If you see someone doing THE CRIME, you can always call it out on the security channel. While its a niche role, detective can keep looking for crimers even while secoffs are pursuing someone, try to make sure the officers always have someone to look for!

Edit: You are also one of the only people that spawn with lethal bullets, try to save those for real threats like a rampaging traitor, wizards, flockmind, things like that
