You know, thinking about it... We get those print-outs from central that talk about the "suspected" antags for the round, and they're almost always wrong. I love when sec roleplays the print-out briefing, but since we only ever get the one kind of print-out, it can get rather dull. I'm wondering if it could be a fun idea to have "central mandated Policy updates" come in from the top brass occasionally. Stuff like "Urgent documents" relating to station law and policy changes that are often kind of silly, or ask the security team to interact with the other departments in funny ways.
For example... Maybe central suspects that there's been an uptick in SERIAL LITTERING lately, and as a result... they will be officially demanding fines for litterers and demand a quota be met. Sec would then be given the opportunity to go around the station and watch for folks throwing trash around; interact with em a bit. Maybe even do a bit of brig RP for repeat offenders. Maybe you guys can think of better scenarios than I can, but the general idea is dumb or silly "company policy" updates that prompt security to hang out with the general station populace. This could increase the general frequency of tickets and fines, depending on the task central demands, too.
Of course, if things are busy right off the bat or antags aren't giving you a lot of time to do much else, you can flat-out ignore the system. It'd be there purely for prompting more roleplay interactions with security... But i think it could also be funny if these "policy updates" were displayed at the end of the round, similar to inspector reports.
Just my two cents, though!
