...perhaps the warden should have a device that pings all the fire alarms in security so they close? Similar to a lockdown, but someone with a crowbar could bust out...

You beat me to the punch but only halfway. As sec, I try to use the flash so I'm not blindly firing down the hallways and hitting innocent people but half the time you go to make an arrest and people (majority of the time they're not even antagonists... grrrr!) start sprinting around and dodging down hallways and through doors, making the flash null. Alternatively you'll be dragging someone in cuffs and get bumped and, OOPS, that's another ten minutes you have to waste chasing this person down for them to berate you over wasting their time over some small crime (entire delay and 20 minutes you've now been cuffed could have been a simple reprimand or a 2 minute brig sentence). Anyway, what was I getting at? Oh, yeah!

I would suggest that all Sec get a device or (preferably) a program on their PDA's to lock down whatever room they're in. I was going to suggest bolting the doors but fireworks are a better solution. It still gives someone a chance to get away, but with a delay and prevents civilians from just stumbling in a door and letting them out.

I would hope that something changes for dragging someone in cuffs as well. Like you cuff them to yourself or something. Just think of all those cheesey movies where the perp gets the cuffs slapped on thear wrist and the cop puts it on his/her wrist to. "Gotcha now, bucko!"
