On the subject of RP Security Officer access

[RubberRats]

I have had a lot of rounds on 4 where I was the only member of security. Most of the time, I was a detective, and thus did not have the expanded access that security officers have. In my experience, access never really got in the way of me pursuing a criminal. If somebody has access to a department that security does not, it is usually a few connected rooms. Not especially useful for making a getaway.
Besides, if security really needs to get in somewhere, they have tools in their equipment room. Overall I don't think losing their expanded access would hurt officers that much.
