	*'''Stun Baton''' - Electrically charged baton. Using it in your hand turns it on and off. Turning the baton on and hitting things with it in [[combat]] mode consumes its charge but stuns them.

While harder for offenders to defend against than the flash, if you get disarmed or slipped your baton can easily be used against you or stolen.

Using a flash first or dealing a first strike with it before your opponent can react can make it significantly safer to use.

	*'''Disabler''' - ~~Ten-~~shot, stamina-based, less-lethal takedown weapon with decent range and accuracy. You must be in [[combat]] mode to fire. The disabler slings blue bolts of energy which sap the stamina of the stuck target, eventually causing them to collapse if you hit them enough times quickly. Once the suspect is stunned, you should have enough time to quickly wrestle cuffs on them. Keep in mind the disabler does deal a small amount of burn damage with each shot, so be careful about using it overzealously as it is "less-lethal" and not "non-lethal". Similarly to the baton, this can become your worst enemy if you drop it and someone else gets control of it or steals it. Furthermore, be mindful of bystanders and your fellow officers! Don't fire all of your shots off in a wild spray hoping to hit the suspect, as your co-workers and the public dislike being struck by random bolts of energy due to your poor aim.		*'''Disabler''' - Twenty shot, stamina-based, less-lethal takedown weapon with decent range and accuracy.

	*'''Flashbang Grenade''' - Timed-fuse flashbang grenade that can be thrown. Its effects are very similar to the flash, but stronger and in a wider area. These can be used in a pinch where a flash can't reach effectively or in large crowds to try and allow you some breathing room (if someone is trying to interfere with you dragging a prisoner, these can slow them both for a moment and allow you some time to move). Like the flash, you should follow up with another weapon after deploying this, and you are immune to its effects if you've got your sunglasses on.		*'''Flashbang Grenade''' - Timed-fuse flashbang grenade that can be thrown.

Tell the ~~clown~~ to quit breaking the window, ask what he needs or is trying to do, and if it's something reasonable, ask on the radio if anyone can help him with it. Meeting low-intensity situations with weapons immediately escalates things which can dangerously backfire on you and turn the crew against you.

	*'''Flash''' - A small bulb which can be ~~trigged~~ in your hand or used on another person to temporarily blind and disorient them. This slows them down greatly, makes them much easier to follow up on with a stun baton, and disorients them enough to make fighting back difficult for a few seconds. This is very low-risk to use against offenders and should be one of your first options, since if they manage to get it away from you, your sunglasses will protect you from it.

	So now, you've got a (probably agitated) offender in cuffs and secured. Next, you need to consider the situation around you. Hallway Clowns and all of the manner of citizen spectators, greys, and other undesirables love nothing more then to interfere with an arrest since they know you can only handle one person at a time. Bring your detainee ''directly'' to the Brig where practical. If you are in a secluded or otherwise low-traffic area, you may be able to do a quick search or ask a few pertinent questions, but for the most part that should be done in the Brig behind closed and secured doors, free from interference and hopefully nearby other Security personnel who can jump in and help you should your detainee attempt to escape or otherwise become problematic.

	Now you need to do the other critically important part of your job which is quickly, effectively, and fairly handling someone you've detained. This is just as important as actually stopping most crimes in progress: the crew will quickly forget a quick and painless trip in and out of the brig, but they will absolutely remember if you fail to give them gear back, beat them up while they are cuffed, give them an excessive sentence, or in general demean them while they are in your custody.

	Security is already a juicy target for most of the crew on the station for various reasons, so don't give anyone another reason to cave your skull in the next time you slip on a banana peel, or to bomb security. Remember, someone you've arrested is your responsibility. If you have medical supplies in Security, it is an act of good faith to make sure they get any major wounds tended to before you toss them into the brig. If possible, it is a good idea to summon a [[Medical Doctor]] to the brig to treat a severely wounded detainee.

	You will have to brig your offender for a few minutes, depending on the crime. Be reasonable and take totality of the circumstances into account.

	Once you put the offender in the brig, don't just buckle them to the bed in cuffs and leave them there. Remove the cuffs and leave them buckled in the cell, then make sure they serve the sentence. Once that's done, let them out of the brig, make sure all of their possessions (minus contraband or dangerous equipment) are returned to them, and get them out of the brig so you can repeat your cycle anew.

	* You only start out with general security and maintenance access, so you can't get your way into departments to help the crew without another crew member from that department, or, if the [[Head of Personnel]] can be made agreeable, extra access assigned to your card. Chat with your boss and the Head of Personnel to see if you can get basic additional access to areas like Medbay, Engineering, the Bar, or other similar areas so you can more effectively respond to calls for help there. Just remember this makes your ID more valuable if stolen by an offender!		* You only start out with general security and maintenance access, so you can't get your way into departments to help the crew without another crew member from that department, or, if the [[Head of Personnel]] can be made agreeable, extra access assigned to your card.

	* Listen to your radio! The crew will often voice various complaints over the radio which can clue you in to crimes in progress or particular crew members to look out for.		* Listen to your [[radio]]!

	* Security is a careful battle of keeping yourself in the general public's good graces. Security hurts the hardest when all of the crew is working against what you are trying to do, and you only make it worse if you make the crew distrust you. Treat prisoners fairly without putting anyone in undue danger.		* [[Security]] is a careful battle of keeping yourself in the general public's good graces.

	* The Warden should be watching over the Brig and Armory for you. Generally they can make sure prisoners serve out their sentence and get their belongings back afterwards, which frees you up from sitting in the brig for a few minutes. The Warden will also hand out other security gear as needed, such as lethal weapons.		* The [[Warden]] should be watching over the Brig and Armory for you.

	* Serious crimes and traitorous activity often happen outside of the main hallways and crowded public areas where everyone is watching. Remember that you have access to maintenance tunnels if you need to move around other parts of the station and remember to give them a patrol every now and again. Be sure to bring a SecLite and be careful within the narrow halls, but keep in mind the light and noise of your movement gives away your position.		* Serious crimes and traitorous activity often happen outside of the main hallways and crowded public areas where everyone is watching.
