I must first say, (a) don't take this personally, (b) I don't play security because the balance of "not being too lenient", "not being too tryhardy", "appropriately responding to any threat at any time", and "making sure the round actually has stuff happen for a while" all while keeping inventory management/tactic management at high form is too difficult for me.
It's good that you play sec at all, you are a fairly mechanically competent secoff, I have only one relevant anecdote to share.

There was once a round where a detective announced a surplus unboxing at public market just 3 minutes in. They opened up the crate, people were hmm-ing and interested in the quality of the surplus, and you immediately went to go and arrest them and ran into maints after them as soon as the unboxing "occasion" had finished.
Like sure, that's okay, if you immediately announce you are evil (especially as the detective), don't expect any leniency. But when you caught them, you said you intended to demote them to staffie, and while I wasn't actually a witness to the arrest, them suiciding and DNR-ing gives me the feeling you may have taken away most of their gear. I could be proven wrong so please tell me if I am.
In my opinion, a five minute head start or so could've been a good idea.

From my general, limited observations of Winston's patterns of behaviour, I think he could benefit from just a little bit more leniency. In going with the flow a little bit more, and not going after "the antag" immediately, so as to allow the round to develop to an "interesting"/dire point where security assistance is necessary.
