Zhail said most of what i had to say really. To give my listicle
Talk first.
Most situations are resolved by discussion. Take reports. Share reports. Ask what happened. Ask them to stop. Theres a time to fight. Theres a time not to. Giving people time to talk creates more rp opportunities, and gives antags a chance to escalate the way they want to.
Weapons are for fights
Your guns and batons and flashes are cool and fun to use. Use them when you can't subdue someone without them. Don't start an encounter with a gun out unless you know they're actively dangerous or are responding to such.
We are here to respond not to prevent
Don't try to catch a tiger by the toe. We're not supposed to be the onrs setting pre emptive traps, they are. Dont "patrol " places every antag heads to. Relax. Rp. Its fun. You can chase thr baddie after they do their bad. If you're alerted yo a bad in progress go ahead and go. And say you are because
Communication is everything
Say you're responding. Let other people respond. Say what you're doing and why. Voice your thoughts. Security is most fun when people are communicating. And when it comes to responding..
Don't Smother
You don't need to respond to every call. You have a team. Let others share in the fun. You can be backup sometimes. Dony silently push and rush to everything. Secball makes everuone have less to do.
Be dumb, but smartly
Don't always know everything. You can know an antag when you see an antag but you don't need to question everyone in toxins. You don't have to chase every yellow c. A husk doesn't instantly mean a ling...suspend disbelief a little and let the baddies have breathing room. You'll have time to baton them. If a situation looks out of hand? Step in. People don't get a free pass but you can also accept a stupid excuse sometimes.
Be chill
Remember we're here to give the antags something to have as opposition. We don't "win" or "lose". Neither do antags. However if you make an experience rotten everyone loses. Yes they use the dame syndiesona everytime. You can still find out who it is even if you know. What if the clown is Hyena this time becauee clowns laugh? What if its a body double or someone framing them.
Do the job
And finally: if sec be sec. Sec offs quitting to go do azone advrntutrs and stuff happens sometimes. Or they turn coms off to go on a date. Or whatever. Try to remember that sec gave you sec tools. Theres always time to do other stuff. Maybe not as the 1 of 4 people on a shift with tools and a job to fight.
