Detectives, their gun, and supercopping.

[Walrus]

walrus, the detective has never been security. he's always been a PI type detective. the fact no one plays him this was is a fault in his design

Maybe if enough people keep saying this it will eventually be true, but until then:


Contents of Detective's office: Security doors, security locker, security computer, security records, security intercom, handheld security camera, sectech. The Detective himself spawns with a security headset, a security pda, and a red (security dept) ID.
Sure looks like the gear/office of a third party that is a distinct entity from security!!!

Once again, pulling something out of your ass does not constitute as truth.

detective has been a separate entity from security since at LEAST donut 2...

...his office moved further away from sec just recently to emphasize this point.

His office was physically separated from the sec office/brig before donut 2, the proximity of his office to the sec office isn't sign that he wasn't part of sec.

evidenced by him initially not being given the ability to use their equipment (no sec implant), having a separate office, and him STILL not having access to their armory (not the hos armory, the regular one)

That makes perfect sense because the sec office/locker and the equipment inside is meant to be used by the sec officers and not the detective in the first place. The detective has his own locker (just like the HoS) because he is not a sec officer. The detective also has a separate office (just like the HoS) because he is not a sec officer. The sec office and equipment inside is meant for sec officers, not the detective (or the HoS).
