	After your briefing, your shift begins. Regularly check officer statuses, ensure wanted statuses are kept up to date, and ensure sentencing is fair. Though the Warden may control the bulk of sentencing, you have the final say, and it is up to you to choose to intervene or not. Patrolling yourself is encouraged, as this job is much less passive than that of the Captain. Set an example for the rest of your team, because you ''are'' the standard to which they will look up to.

	During Green alert, nothing but nonlethals should be used (excluding extreme circumstances, if you find nukies use whatever you have regardless of alert level.) The discharge of a service pistol is a serious message, whether you recognise it or not. As the alert level reaches Blue or above, small firearm use may be authorised by you. But again, de-escalate. It's your job to follow and respect escalation rules, even more so due to your position as a departmental head.

	On Red alert and above, longarm use becomes a serious option. Your door remote, as well as the Warden's, has the capability to set the Armoury to emergency access. Most stations come equipped with two SMGs, two Rifles, 4 shotguns, several laser rifles and an assortment of armour and hardsuits for use against Antagonists, or solely out of necessary (due to atmospheric issues, for instance).
