This is mostly a QoL thing, and maybe it only affects me, but whenever I'm a Detective I fill an evidence box with most of the items I can use for gathering physical evidence. This usually includes:
- Spectrometer goggles
- Vr goggles
- Forensic scanner
- Camera
- Tape recorder
- Camera monitor
- Body bag
Now, I could probably slim that down, but it would be incredibly convenient if these items were already assembled in a unique container.
Detective is probably one of the most inventory extensive roles with the amount of gear they get, flavor items like cigarettes and booze, and needing to collect evidence. Speeding up the process of getting everything together and organized speeds up the process of me sneaking around bushes and trash cans while spying on people for dirt.

This would make being a detective hella easier and HELLA more useful for sec.
However, I think just having a "crime kit" storage wouldn't be enough, as it'd just be yet anoter box instead of something really QoL.
How about delegating Camera, Tape Recorder and Camera Monitor functionality to PDA files and give detective his own DET-NOIR cartridge or something?

1. Make the tech-hat only verbally activate, so the detective being too shitfaced means he can't use his tools and therefore he must remain in sobriety hell
2. This will also lead to indiana jones style lucky hat recoveries and I'm ok with that

I was only asking for these things to be in a unique box at round start but this is better

i was more thinking of a hatvolver, either holding it in your hand and shooting it like a revolver or having to aim every shot like the eye-lasers, nerfing it a bit i guess
