1. Don't strip anyone into a orange jumpsuit for minor crimes. I've seen this happen way too much lately as HoS. All this causes is the asshat who did some dumb thing to get even more disgruntled and fuck with you even more not allowing you to deal with real crime.
1a. If the asshat is getting too out of hand and crossing the line to the point of stripping you and possibly murdering you, you should admin help it. It's against the rules for people to fuck with security for no good reason too!
2. In rounds where a changeling or some other antagonist is being stealthy always get fingerprints off the body using your pda forensics scanner. The last set of finger prints usually belong to the person who did the crime. And to add onto this if the person has some sort of glove material on them you can narrow down your suspects to people wearing that type of glove. (Body has insulated fibers go around and look for anyone with insulated gloves and see if you can find the match for the one on your victim.)
3. Like others said keep good communication with security. If there are no other security keep good communication up with the crew or heads of staff.
4. Cant stress this enough. Don't walk around with your weapons out.
5. This one is more of a opinion but officers tend to look more friendly and less "fresh off the boat" when they wear a different uniform than the default.
6. Make good allies and friends. By this I mean always try to get onto the good side of people who can help you out in a pinch when you need it. (Doctors, Ai, Clown, Cyborgs, ect)
7. You arrested a traitor and this is fourth time he's done crime when he got out of jail? Try to think of another punishment. Try humiliation, some super over the top execution, maybe even hand them over to a couple of scientist as a test subject. Many things can be much more entertaining than a silent spacing.
8. As a officer it's always handy to report in what you arrested a person for. There has been countless times where I walk in see someone stuck in the brig and I don't even know what they did and wont know because the officer died or something.
9. You can test a person to see if they're a changeling by extracting their blood and heating it up with something. If the game says something along the lines of "Their blood attempts to jump out and sizzles away!" that means they're a changeling.
9a. Take caution when trying to apprehend a changeling. They can instantly remove their cuffs and sting you while cuffed!
10. The HoS is HoS for a reason. It's always a good idea to listen to them. But to add onto this if you see the HoS doing questionable things such as murdering people and going on a justice rampage it's most likely they've been mindslaved!
11. A traitor has some sort of stims and your stun weapons aren't doing jack shit at all? Use a tranquilizer rifle on them to slow them down and not murder you!
11a. The traitor is too robust for you to defeat? Make a plan of some sort. Mind over matter. Setup a trap, use chems on them, ambush them, trap them in a place.
12. Try to make good judgement. A clown with a clown car going around doing some what borderline traitorous things shouldn't be your priority and doesn't need to be dealt with via murder. Maybe save the spacing for the guy who is going around murdering the whole crew with a cyalume saber.
13. Murder. If a antagonist of some sort has gone around and killed the whole crew nobody is going to get mad at you for having to take them out! But with this said keep slaying down to a minimum. If you can take the person alive then thats usually always more interesting.
14. Your job isn't just catching crime either! You're here to help the crew. See a guy who looks like he may be seriously hurt? Bring them over to medbay. Clown tripped on their shoes? Help them up. A explosion just happen and people are currently dying in the breach? Pull them/throw them out to a safe place.
15. Don't get so worked up about playing security. A lot of people these days are afraid for some reason to play mall cop on a 2d space guy game. Just relax and have fun and try not to take it so seriously. Security is what you make out of it and can be just as fun as other jobs when you find what makes it work best.
