Job Description

Head of Security, HOS, or Big Yin, is the third in the chain of command and it is their job to ensure that there are no evildoers running around terrorizing the station. They do this by managing a team of Security officers and ensuring the crew is being productive and safe, even if that means truncheoning an assistant to "increase morale".

Welcome, glorious Head of Security

It is not uncommon for members of this position to forget their job priority so here's an important reminder. You are NOT just an officer with a cooler gun; you are the person in charge of managing security. Security more than any other department is heavily reliant on other departments to function, and it is your job to maintain the supply lines, which you can't do while hollowed out in a maintenance hallway.

Your officers will look to you as the final word on Space Law, so know it well. A good HoS enforces the law consistently and fairly; a bad HoS gets dragged in front of the Captain if they're lucky or get strung up on a cross in front of the bridge if they're unlucky.

Science: unlocks new equipment for security such as new laser weapons and mechs

Medical: heals your officers, stocks your meds and makes gunpowder

Cargo: gives you cash for reinforcements and orders ballistic weaponry and armor

Engineering: repairs your office when a clown welderbombs it

If any of them fail to assist you, it is within your rights to order corporal punishment upon the insolent bastards (within the bounds of Space Law, of course). This goes for their bosses - your fellow commanders as well.

Preparing for chaos

Ensure your Security Officers are well equipped with their tools and bodycams. The starting laser weapons have less-than-great stopping power against anything not specifically weak to heat damage, so remember to ask science to research better guns. Officers are weak individually but strong in groups so organize patrol parties(usually duos). Stock your armory with gunpowder and make sure your Warden is calling down reinforcements as often as possible.
