I am always in favor of doing things that establish the detective as Sec-, but I think the popular way of playing him is Sec+. I would prefer to see him as the fun gimmick character, not the guy people turn to when they can't be HoS and regular sec isn't flashy enough.
It's more fun when the detective isn't a cooler sec officer (who can also be a traitor) with better gear. Moving his grimy office to disposals was a good start, but I would like to see the him made even more into the washed-up security wannabe.
Take away his sec headset for a normal one, revoke his sec access. Let him keep the gun, but remove the secvending machine reloads - he only gets the clip that starts in the gun and one reload. No stun ammunition, because he's kind of a dangerous looney.
Idea being that he had better make every shot count and because he doesn't actually have any stun tools, he should actually do his job sniffing out criminals and call in actual security to do the arresting bit. More drunken noir detectives. Every sec officer ought to outrank him.
