Stub
Looks like the article engineers are still writing this page. This page is a stub, meaning it is incomplete and/or lacking information. |
The security department, or sec department for short, is tasked with keeping the station reasonably safe -which in a game about a shift going wrong is going to be hard.
Nonlethals
Security has many non lethal options when it comes to incapactating criminals. Below are some of the options you have:
| Item | Name | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Stun Baton | Works primarily as a tool to stun criminals. | Remember to turn it on first! Otherwise, it's just a middling melee weapon, and people will yell at you. |
 |
Handcuffs | Used to detain people, disallowing them from using any items. | Only to be used on "Bad guys" - suspects and known criminals. |
 |
Flashbang | Explodes, blinding everyone nearby. | Security shades, as well as other types of sunglasses, will negate the blinding effect. |
Lethals
The Security department also has lethal weapons in the armory, but only the Head of Security and Warden can open the doors. Do not give them out without a good reason. killing the clown isn't a good reason
| weapon | ammo | damage | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mk 58 | .35 auto | 16 Piercing | a small but effective firearm. You get one in your default equipment. |
| Lecter | .20 rifle | 17 Piercing | A high end military grade assault rifle. |
| WT550 | .35 auto | 16 Piercing | An excellent fully automatic sub-machine gun |
| Kammerer | Shotgun Shells | Depends on shell | a basic shotgun with a capacity of 4 shells |
| Laser Gun | Energy (battery) | 14 Burn | Favored by Security for being cheap and easy to use. |
Imprisonment
Almost every station in the game has 4 temporary jail cells that can be used to store criminals. However for the more dangerous people, you have a permant prison (reffered to as perma) which can be used to store these dangerous people for the entire shift.
As per cited in spacelaw, if a prisoner requests basic needs such as water, food or medical aid you are obligated to attempt to deliver these to them. However in certain situations (aka: they keep killing themselfs, theres no food etc.) then you can decline these requests, however make sure you let them know why you are declining them.
The catching of criminals goes as follows:
- - catch a bad guy
- - cuff them (or stun and cuff if resisting)
- - bring them to his cell
- - strip them fully except for basic clothing and communications. (Special requests may be made, such as keeping a plushie. Your choice to deny or accept.)
- - ask the warden how much time they will get (after telling him why you arrested them)
- - place all the possesions tthey had in a locker and lock it
Chain of Command
this is as simple as it gets The chain of command is: Captain -> Head of Security -> Warden -> Officers follow the chain of command, but know that it may change in an emergency.
Cadet/Officer
Know your duties as a officer/cadet in code green:
- - patrol around the station
- - look for suspicious activity
- - when you find suspicious activity, report it to HOS or warden, don't just jump into action
Note: The Bartender has a double barreled shotgun and is allowed it as long as they dont assault people with it.
Use judgement to see if you need to get involved in a conflict, sometimes disputes are civil and you wont be needed.
If you're unsure about if a certain department should have an item, shift click that item and ensure it alligns with the owners department. (For example, no one outside of engineering should have an RCD without a permit!)
Warden
Your job as the warden is simple at first glance, however you have to be good at your job, otherwise you can ruin the game for other people.
The job of the warden is book prisoners, once someone is brung into the brig you are supposed to ask the officer what they did. After the officer has told you the list of crimes you are then to reffer to Space Law for how long you are allowed to put the into the brig for. Once you have determined how long they should be locked away you are to set the brig timer for the respective cell that the criminal will be staying in.
Prisoners have right to food, water and adiquate medical care. Alongside having access to basic communications unless abused.
You are to stay in the brig for almost the entire shift, as if you are not there officers may have to lock people away longer than needed due to not being the expert in space law, like you are.
Head of Security
As the Head of Security you have many jobs to be doing at once. Some may say your job is harder than the captains. The various station alert codes will alter what you are meant to be doing. However your main focus should be ensuring all of your officers are completing their job.
Inside of your office are some very valuable items. On almost all maps you will have a choice between the WT SMG, which is a lethal SMG with 3 mags total (one already loaded) and additional mags can be printed via the security fabricator. The other primary is one that most security officers will choose, the energy shotgun. It can be used as a slightly more effective disabler and for the most part is what you should be carrying on green alert and blue alert.
Durring green and blue, you should mainly be keeping your focus to patrolling the station alongside your security officers. However if there are any cadets, you should give them training. The main areas that you should train brand new cadets in is:
- Stun cuffing - The art of using your baton (and ensuring it is turned on!) to incapacitate a target, then quickly switching to your cuffs to arrest the target before they can move again.
- De-escalation - The art of actually speaking to someone who is committing a crime and attempting to de-escalate the situation and make it so no one is affected. For example if someone has stolen the clowns shoes. Instead of arresting the person who stole them and then shoving them in the brig, instead approaching them and just asking for them back. (Of course, if it happens multiple times then this can be ignored.)
Durring blue you should let your officers know that they are able to commit random searches. However, it is a courtesy to attempt to limit the searches to people who are suspicious. On the topic of searches, you and the warden can permit a search of an indivual on any alert level as long as you have a justifiable reason to.
In code red, HOS may choose to allow lethals via opening the armory section of the security department. It is heavily advised to not arm any other departments outside of security and command. However, if the station goes off of red, anyone who was armed should be de-armed as soon as possible
If the code reaches violet, your job is made much more difficult. It is the captains and your duty to effectivly guide the crew against the viral threat. Your department should be ensuring healthy individuals dont become infected via protecting them.
Evac Protocol
In the event of evac you are prohibited from leaving prisoners behind. You must cuff them and take them to the evac ship. Keep an eye on them. You may free prisoners if their sentence is nearly up, but not perma or confirmed antags.
Any prisoner may demand a trial, the captain should be the judge (you can read more about trials at https://wiki.spacestation14.io/wiki/Trials) If the trial didn't go in the prisoner's favor, they may not demand another one.
