Corporate Regulations are penned regulations that all Nanotrasen employees have agreed to abide by in the signing of their employment contract. These regulations apply across the board on any Nanotrasen owned property, be it station, ship, or outpost.

Onboard each facility there will be a dedicated Security department in charge of making sure that all Nanotrasen employees follow these regulations.

'''Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.'''

'''Executions are illegal and not allowed by regulations.''' Station security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is cyborgification.

'''The time a suspect spends in processing is counted to their total brig time.''' Try to keep track of how much time has passed since someone has been officially processed. This generally begins with questioning. The best way to keep track of time would be to set their time on a cell while they're in processing. Holding them for longer than their sentence can lead to the warden or handling officers to be liable for illegal detention.

=== Interpretation of the Regulations ===
Every person on the station should have a good knowledge of Corporate Regulations. Following them could mean the difference between having a peaceful day or paying 1000 credits for multiple infractions. More in-depth interpretations of Corporate Regulations are required for such positions as the Warden, Head of Personnel, Captain, and the Head of Security.

For all incidents, the '''suspect's intent''' is very important. Some incidents are mutually exclusive.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of pickpocketing.

Aiding and abetting a criminal makes you an accomplice; '''you can be charged with the same crime as the person you aided and abetted.'''

=== Additional ===
The Captain is not above Corporate Regulations, and can be arrested by Security for breaking it if the Heads of Staff agree in a majority decision.

Pardons are only legitimate if they come from Central Command. Despite his high ranking the Captain cannot spit in the face of Corporate Regulations and any attempts to do so are infractions.

Do '''NOT''' demand a tribunal for anything. You'll just be laughed at.

| i101
| '''Trespassing'''
| To be in an area which a person does not have access to.
| Remember that people can either break in, sneak in, or be let in. Always check that the suspect wasn't let in to do a job by someone with access, or were given access on their ID. Trespassing and theft often committed together; both sentences should be applied. Severity is increased if they refuse to leave the area peacefully, more so if they attempt to use important equipment there, so feel free to add other charges if they do.
| 3 minutes.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 200 credits
|-
| i102
| '''Petty Theft'''
| To take items from areas one does not have access to, or to take items belonging to others or the station as a whole.
| Keeping items which are in short supply where they belong is what is important here. A doctor who takes all the surgical tools and hides them still commits theft, even though he had access. Items can include anything from toolboxes to metal to insulated gloves. Remember to take the items away from them and return them to where they stole them.
| 3 minutes, returning of stolen item to the owner or department.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 150 credits
|-
| i103
| '''Minor Assault'''
| To use, or threaten, physical force against someone, without intent to kill or seriously injure.
| If it causes minor damage and easily treatable damage, it's minor assault. Starting fights with other employees or punching fellow employees counts too, as well as seriously threatening them with it. Force-feeding someone is this unless it's poisonous or knocks them unconscious.
| 4 minutes.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 400 credits
|-
| i104
| '''Battery'''
| To have unwanted physical contact with someone, even where the contact is not violent.
| Bumping into someone in a corridor doesn't really count. Touching someone, when they have explicitly told you not to, does.
| 2 minutes.
| Up to 8 minutes and/or demotion.
| 200 credits
|-
| i105
| '''Indecent Exposure or Hooliganism'''
| To be intentionally and publicly unclothed, yelling at people for no reason in public or on comms, throwing around stuff where it could hit someone, yelling about how terrible NanoTrasen is, etc.
| Running around the station naked or in underwear, or other such degrading activities. Drunks can be keep to sober up, but only if they are badly harassing other crew members. Regular drunks don't get arrested and if they are only a nuisance you keep them for the regular time. The mutual degradation of chasing a naked man down while he screams rape is only worth it on slow rounds. Skrell are required to be clothed just like anyone else. Tajaran can have rolled down jumpsuits unless ordered by their Head of Staff to keep it up.
| 5 minutes.
| Up to 8 minutes and/or demotion.
| 250 credits
|-
| i106
| '''Suspicious Conduct'''
| To possess a suspiciously wide skill set not indicated in employee record, wielding dangerous weapons near other staff, extensive inquiring about critical areas, or stalking other employees.
| Basically, metagamey/powergamey behaviour. It's worth reporting to the Head of Personnel or your Head of Staff if you want to play a character who knows more than they should. You may also want to adminhelp if you feel the person is using metagamey or powergamey behavior.
| 2 minutes. Immediate search.
| Tracking implant.
| 200 credits. Immediate search.
|-
| i107
| '''Misuse of Public Radio Channels'''
| To continually broadcast unimportant, untrue, or insignificant messages on the public radio frequency.
| This is really only for people who are constantly spamming the radio, such as 'DJs' or Chaplains reading their services over the comms. Screaming fake messages like "halp security is beating me" when they aren't also counts.
| 3 minutes.
| Ban from using any radio equipment, which requires a filed injunction.
| 150 credits
|-
| i108
| '''Violation of Injunction'''
| To violate the terms of an injunction made by Security or other legal professions.
| Injunctions can be filed for lots of different things, such as a ban on weapons carrying, or the above radio ban. They can be applied by the Head of Security, Captain, or equivalent. If they break the law in some other way, apply that sentence too.
| 5 minutes.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| N/A
|-
| i109
| '''Slandering a Head of Staff'''
| To directly insult a Head of Staff with no valid complaints.
| This is most likely to happen when someone is being fired. The charge is only applicable when the statements are slanderous and untrue.
| 5 minutes.
| Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.
| 250 credits
|-
| i110
| '''Slander'''
| To spread false rumors in order to damage someone's reputation.
| Lying about anything to make someone else look bad. For example, an engineer trying to pass off the blame of letting the singularity loose to someone else. Since this has to be proven, it's up to a tribunal or appropriate officer.
| 3 minutes.
| 5 minutes.
| 50 credits per applicable minute
|-
| i111
| '''Failure to Execute an Order'''
| To ignore or disregard a superior's valid orders.
| If the order is stupid, or causes you to break a law (e.g. "Release the singularity!" or "Steal that RCD for me!") you can ignore it, and probably make a complaint. However, if it's perfectly doable, lawful, and in your job description, you better do it or resign. If not following an order caused severe damage or loss of life, see "Failure to Execute an Order with Serious Consequences".
| 5 minutes.
| Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion.
| 500 credits
|-
| i112

| To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee.

| 5 minutes.
| Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion.
| N/A
|-
| i113
| '''Animal Cruelty'''
| To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
| Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or well-being (e.g Genetics, Virology, etc.) don't count, neither do the animals ordered from cargo. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them down disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area, as long as they are not overtly caused pain in the process.
| 5 minutes
| Up to 10 minutes and/or Demotion.

| 450 credits
|-
| i115
| '''Threat of Murder or Serious Injury'''
| To threaten to kill or seriously injure an employee.
| The threat has to somewhat tangible. If it's just people arguing over the radio, it's probably not worth it. Someone shouting at someone else while chasing them with a fire extinguisher is more valid.
| 3 minutes and mandatory Tracking implant.
| Up to 10 minutes with psychiatric evaluation.
| 500 credits. Tracking implant.
|-
| i116
| '''Disrespect to the Dead'''
| To abuse bodies of dead or previously dead employees.
| Examples include, the chef using bodies in the morgue as meat, Security beating on a prisoners corpse, or using someone's body for 'experimental surgery'. Preventing a body from being cloned or cyborged also falls under this. The Chaplain or medbay tended to corpses in preperation for autopsy or funeral does not fall under this unless they're doing something bizarre and unnecessary.
| 5 minutes

| 400 credits
|-
| i117
| '''Excessive use of force in detainment'''
| To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect.

The [[Detective]]'s job is to investigate the remains of any crime, coordinate investigations, and ensure due investigative procedure is being observed. They have limited brig access because they are supposed to be an investigator, not a [[Security Officer]] or [[Warden]]. '''Detectives are allowed to detain a suspect if they directly witness an infraction''', but it is still wise to summon security, given that there is no immediate threat to the station or crew. They cannot access brig timers, and are typically not issued the same duty-gear that officers are. They are expected to work in tandem with the [[Forensic Technician]] - they handle witnesses and suspects, while the FT analyzes physical evidence.

==Detective Inspector==

See [[Guide_to_Security#Standard_Procedure|standard security procedures]] for more about evidence collecting.

As a detective, your primary duty is to investigate crimes and find out who committed them - and to ensure that evidence is on-hand for the people that the officers arrest. You do this mainly by talking to people, either in [[Detective's Office|your office]] or in the [[interrogation room]]. Processing is also sufficient for more informal settings. You have a secondary duty of preforming arrests if security officers need the help or you actively see a crime unfolding before you.

An investigation is often a complex, multi-step process. Usually, you'll be called by security when they have a crime but no witnesses (or when the situations reported by witnesses are a bit murky and the warden is too lazy to get the statements themselves).

When there's a crime scene, but no witnesses, the first step is to let the [[Forensic Technician]] do their work, and collect/analyse the evidence. It is usually a good idea to accompany them to crime scenes. Once that's done, they should turn up with several '''key elements''': fingerprints, DNA hashes, suspicious cigarette butts or blood-covered murder weapons that they will process into reports for you to use. While you are at the crime scene, observe the area. Take photos, and make notes for yourself to refer to later. Summarize details. It is your ''job'' to take evidence and find a way to connect it to suspicious persons on station - usually by presenting it to them in the interrogation room and grilling them until they crack and admit to their crimes. Keep in mind, most suspects will vehemently deny involvement in crimes, even if you show them a photo of them shooting their victim. Confessions are not absolutely essential, but they can help your case. Consider offering plea bargains (make sure to check with the warden, head of security, or captain to make sure they're actually willing to cut a deal) in exchange for confessions, or any details you might be missing.

==Equipment==
Here is a list of stuff that the either Detective spawns with, or is in his office:

* [[file:Dpacket.png]] [[file:Zippo.png]]Detectives are issued a complimentary pack of Dromedary cigarettes and a zippo lighter - lung cancer is considered standard issue.
* [[file:Dethat.png]] [[file:Greyhat.png]] You are issued two fedoras to further the noir detective cliche - a brown one and a dark grey one. Not only are they fashionable, but they act as armor - somewhat similar to security officer helmets.
* [[file:Detcoat.png]] [[file:Greycoat.png]] Two trenchcoats are issued to detectives, in complimentary colors to your hats - a brown one and a dark grey one. Both have internal pockets for storing small items. Acts as armor with ratings similar to the vests that security officers are issued.
* [[file:BGloves.png]] The Detective's Gloves - As stated above, NEVER take these off if you are planning on being an actual detective and doing your damn job, or you will get your own prints on the fingerprint cards and mess up the evidence.
* [[file:secheadset.png]] A security radio headset - This gives you access to the security channel so you can effectively communicate with the other security staff.
* [[file:38revolver.png]] A S&W Model 10 revolver, loaded with .38 special rounds. Extremely lethal - doing 25 brute per hit with the potential to embed in targets causing serious internal damage. Activate it while it is in your hand to unload the cylinder. Can also accept single casings.
* [[file:38loader.png]] Spare ammo for your revolver - If you run out, hacked autolathes can produce more. It is a good idea to hold onto the speed loaders even if you use them. Give them to cargo - they can recycle the metal in them to make more.
* A tape recorder - For documenting interviews with suspects. Remember, it can record anything said around you from you hand, suit storage, or pockets, holding up to 3 hours of conversations! Pretty cool, huh?
* A hand labeller - For labelling evidence.
* A camera - For taking pictures of evidence.
* A pair of sunglasses, for looking shady and protecting your eyes from flashes and flashbangs. Strongly recommended.
* A pair of handcuffs, for detaining suspects. Use sparingly.
* A handheld self-defense flash, for protecting yourself. Identical to the flashes issued to every other member of security as well as command staff. Ineffective against anyone wearing tinted eye protection, such as helmets, sunglasses, or hardsuit visors.

Regarding uniform, detectives are expected to enforce a business-formal/business-casual dress - usually this consists of slacks and a dress shirt, or a suit. You are provided with three options from your locker by default:
* [[File:Whitesuit.png]] Simple brown slacks, with a white dress shirt.
* [[File:Suittie.png]] Simple grey slacks, with a white dress shirt and a red tie.
* [[File:Suitvest.png]] Black slacks, with a black vest over a white dress shirt. Comes with a red tie.

==Building a Case==

The most important tenets in investigating crimes - sometimes called the legal burden of proof, or going beyond reasonable doubt - is to ascertain the following:

* '''Motive''' - This is often the most difficult thing to determine, as it usually cannot be proven by material evidence, and is crucial to proper sentencing. Motive is the difference between an assault charge and attempted murder - vandalism to sabotage - and sedition to mutiny. In order to properly charge someone with capital crimes such as murder or terrorist acts, you ''must'' be able to prove intent. Often, the only way to ascertain motive is to convince them to tell you, however, use your better judgement. A suspect that fires on someone with a .357 revolver has pretty clear intentions, despite what they might suggest.

* '''Means''' - Typically, forensics can uncover this. The means to which the crime was carried out is the bare-bones facts; the details. Usually, this is in the form of a narrative, explaining, in active practice, exactly how the crime was carried out. How someone broke into an area, through what means someone was assaulted. It is here that you must prove what it is exactly that they did.

* '''Presence/Confirmed Involvement''' - Again, typically forensics can typically uncover this, although witnesses may also be able to provide supporting statements. Confirming presence or involvement simply means to be able to place a suspect at the area when the crime happened. Finding a suspect's fingerprints all over a murder scene, the AI reporting someone breaking into an area, or an officer or other witness providing testimony are all indicators that your suspect was present at the crime. This usually lays the foundation of your investigation and will give you your preliminary list of suspects - additionally, it is the easiest to prove, especially with forensics or photographic evidence.

Sometimes, however, there's going to be a witness but no evidence, in which case your job comes in before Forensics'. You can interview witnesses in your office, and use their statements (which you can record with your trusty tape recorder) to obtain a warrant to search or detain suspicious individuals.

Occasionally, you might be expected to do Forensics' work when no forensic technician is available (only do this if your character possesses the necessary competencies, however.) As a whole, though, your job should be to investigate ''people'', not ''objects''.

== Proper Proceedings ==
Have your printed dossiers with you or on file at all times - these dossiers act as the evidence against the criminal.
Typically, a dossier - or case files, as they are sometimes called - consists of the following:

* Fingerprint and fiber analysis reports, printed from the high powered-electron microscope
* DNA analysis reports, printed from the DNA analyzer
* Copies of the medical/security records of any suspects with matching fingerprints/DNA pertaining to your case
* Photos of the crime scene, or of any incriminating action
* Interrogation recording transcripts, of either witnesses or suspects
* Signed confessions from suspects
* Any forensics-related paperwork, such as autopsy reports, body-scan print outs, bloodwork forms, etc. (''Most of these can be found from the paperwork database at any request console, under the security archives.'')
* A thorough case report summarizing your findings and evidence is an '''invaluable''' centerpiece to any case dossier.

After producing your dossier, with forensics assistance, you will want to hand it to the head of security or equivalent, and then after properly labeling it, archiving it in the evidence locker filing cabinet.

Technically, the above represents the entirety of the detective's job. Despite this, you will rarely be called upon to investigate a crime, since the victim is usually able to cry out for help and the perpetrator is quickly identified. Luckily, there are some other things that the Detective can do instead:

* Patrol for any crimes, and call security to the scene.
* Be a general assistant to Security - the warden may occasionally need prisoners escorted to medbay, or for spare jumpsuits to be retrieved for demoted personnel.
* Use the camera terminal in your office to scan the station. Look around for any crimes, then report it over the Security channel or head over there yourself. It's probably not a good idea to announce it over the general radio, or the criminal in question will usually realize that you're onto them and get away.
* Update the security records. This is meant to be the Warden's job, but you'll be hard pressed to see him actually doing that.

The [[Detective]]'s job is to investigate the remains of any crime, coordinate investigations, and ensure due investigative procedure is being observed. They have limited brig access because they are supposed to be an investigator, not a [[Security Officer]] or [[Warden]]. '''Detectives are allowed to detain a suspect if they directly witness an infraction''', but it is still wise to summon security, given that there is no immediate threat to the station or crew. They cannot access brig timers, and are typically not issued the same duty-gear that officers are. They are expected to work in tandem with the [[Forensic Technician]] - they handle witnesses and suspects, while the FT analyzes physical evidence.

==Detective Inspector==

See [[Guide_to_Security#Standard_Procedure|standard security procedures]] for more about evidence collecting.

As a detective, your primary duty is to investigate crimes and find out who committed them - and to ensure that evidence is on-hand for the people that the officers arrest. You do this mainly by talking to people, either in [[Detective's Office|your office]] or in the [[interrogation room]]. Processing is also sufficient for more informal settings. You have a secondary duty of preforming arrests if security officers need the help or you actively see a crime unfolding before you.

An investigation is often a complex, multi-step process. Usually, you'll be called by security when they have a crime but no witnesses (or when the situations reported by witnesses are a bit murky and the warden is too lazy to get the statements themselves).

When there's a crime scene, but no witnesses, the first step is to let the [[Forensic Technician]] do their work, and collect/analyse the evidence. It is usually a good idea to accompany them to crime scenes. Once that's done, they should turn up with several '''key elements''': fingerprints, DNA hashes, suspicious cigarette butts or blood-covered murder weapons that they will process into reports for you to use. While you are at the crime scene, observe the area. Take photos, and make notes for yourself to refer to later. Summarize details. It is your ''job'' to take evidence and find a way to connect it to suspicious persons on station - usually by presenting it to them in the interrogation room and grilling them until they crack and admit to their crimes. Keep in mind, most suspects will vehemently deny involvement in crimes, even if you show them a photo of them shooting their victim. Confessions are not absolutely essential, but they can help your case. Consider offering plea bargains (make sure to check with the warden, head of security, or captain to make sure they're actually willing to cut a deal) in exchange for confessions, or any details you might be missing.

==Equipment==
Here is a list of stuff that the either Detective spawns with, or is in his office:

* [[file:Dpacket.png]] [[file:Zippo.png]]Detectives are issued a complimentary pack of Dromedary cigarettes and a zippo lighter - lung cancer is considered standard issue.
* [[file:Dethat.png]] [[file:Greyhat.png]] You are issued two fedoras to further the noir detective cliche - a brown one and a dark grey one. Not only are they fashionable, but they act as armor - somewhat similar to security officer helmets.
* [[file:Detcoat.png]] [[file:Greycoat.png]] Two trenchcoats are issued to detectives, in complimentary colors to your hats - a brown one and a dark grey one. Both have internal pockets for storing small items. Acts are armor with ratings similar to the vests that security officers are issued.
* [[file:BGloves.png]] The Detective's Gloves - As stated above, NEVER take these off if you are planning on being an actual detective and doing your damn job, or you will get your own prints on the fingerprint cards and mess up the evidence.
* [[file:secheadset.png]] A security radio headset - This gives you access to the security channel so you can effectively communicate with the other security staff.
* [[file:38revolver.png]] A S&W Model 10 revolver, loaded with .38 special rounds. Extremely lethal - doing 25 brute per hit with the potential to embed in targets causing serious internal damage. Activate it while it is in your hand to unload the cylinder. Can also accept single casings.
* [[file:38loader.png]] Spare ammo for your revolver - If you run out, hacked autolathes can produce more. It is a good idea to hold onto the speed loaders even if you use them. Give them to cargo - they can recycle the metal in them to make more.
* A tape recorder - For documenting interviews with suspects. Remember, it can record anything said around you from you hand, suit storage, or pockets, holding up to 3 hours of conversations! Pretty cool, huh?
* A hand labeller - For labelling evidence.
* A camera - For taking pictures of evidence.
* A pair of sunglasses, for looking shady and protecting your eyes from flashes and flashbangs. Strongly recommended.
* A pair of handcuffs, for detaining suspects. Use sparingly.

* [[file:Dethat.png]] [[file:Greyhat.png]] You are issued two fedoras to further the noir detective cliche - a brown one and a dark grey one. Not only are they fashionable, but they act as armor - somewhat similar to security officer helmets.
* [[file:Detcoat.png]] [[file:Greycoat.png]] Two trenchcoats are issued to detectives, in complimentary colors to your hats - a brown one and a dark grey one. Both have internal pockets for storing small items. Acts are armor with ratings similar to the vests that security officers are issued.
* [[file:BGloves.png]] The Detective's Gloves - As stated above, NEVER take these off if you are planning on being an actual detective and doing your damn job, or you will get your own prints on the fingerprint cards and mess up the evidence.
* [[file:secheadset.png]] A security radio headset - This gives you access to the security channel so you can effectively communicate with the other security staff.
* [[file:38revolver.png]] A S&W Model 10 revolver, loaded with .38 special rounds. Extremely lethal - doing 25 brute per hit with the potential to embed in targets causing serious internal damage. Activate it while it is in your hand to unload the cylinder. Can also accept single casings.
* [[file:38loader]] Spare ammo for your revolver - If you run out, hacked autolathes can produce more. It is a good idea to hold onto the speed loaders even if you use them. Give them to cargo - they can recycle the metal in them to make more.
* A tape recorder - For documenting interviews with suspects. Remember, it can record anything said around you from you hand, suit storage, or pockets, holding up to 3 hours of conversations! Pretty cool, huh?
* A hand labeller - For labelling evidence.
* A camera - For taking pictures of evidence.
* A pair of sunglasses, for looking shady and protecting your eyes from flashes and flashbangs. Strongly recommended.
* A pair of handcuffs, for detaining suspects. Use sparingly.
* A handheld self-defense flash, for protecting yourself. Identical to the flashes issued to every other member of security as well as command staff. Ineffective against anyone wearing tinted eye protection, such as helmets, sunglasses, or hardsuit visors.

Regarding uniform, detectives are expected to enforce a business-formal/business-casual dress - usually this consists of slacks and a dress shirt, or a suit. You are provided with three options from your locker by default:
* [[File:Whitesuit.png]] Simple brown slacks, with a white dress shirt.
* [[File:Suittie.png]] Simple grey slacks, with a white dress shirt and a red tie.
* [[File:Suitvest.ping]] Black slacks, with a black vest over a white dress shirt. Comes with a red tie.
