Watch Hound

Half of your job is to look after the prisoners; make sure they aren't abused or given unfair sentences and that they don't escape. The other half of your job is to arm security with weapons in emergencies. You are not a Security Officer and should not leave the brig if possible. However, you may operate as an officer shall the need arise, under the permission of your Head of Security.

If you have no prisoners to watch out for, you can be helpful to your team by coordinating with officers over your radio channel, checking cameras when people call for help, and updating arrest records. You can also do roll call every so often, to make sure that the officers are still alive and well. You have the opportunity to make Security run like a well-oiled machine, but don't start acting like your boss.

Also make sure you keep track of what's in the armory. While you do not start with a list of everything in the armory, it is the same between shifts. You should keep track of who and what is being taken and their reason why. Moreoever, make sure the armory stock is well-balanced. Sometimes, the people at Central forget to stock a certain type of weaponry, whether lethal or non-lethal; and it is your job to make sure the situation is remedied before it's too late. It is important to note though, that the crew armory is not your responsibility. Leave it and it's operations to command staff.

Remember to follow Corporate Regulations and not abuse your prisoners. Some may get rowdy or hostile, but make sure to use appropriate force. You don't need to stun baton a mouthy prisoner. Keep in mind the Brig is outfitted with flashes throughout the cells, communal cell, and solitary. Use them when needed, alongside using the solitary cell, to keep overly aggressive prisoners from causing too many issues.

Running the Brig

As a Warden, you have full control over the entirety of the Brig. Other than that, you are on the same level as everyone else in Security. You report to the Head of Security just like every other officer.

Unlike every other officer, you have the independent authority to issue arrest and search warrants as long as there is sufficient cause to. This responsibility is not an indicator of elevated rank - it just allows security to function appropriately when the Command Staff normally responsible are missing. You should not be issuing warrants unless your normal oversight (in the form of a Head of Security or the Captain) is not present. Even then, it's a good idea to ask or inform any present command staff if the warrant is a for a crime of level 200 and above. Any warrants you issue independently will be subject to review by either of these people later on.

Have an advanced knowledge of Corporate Regulations and ship procedure, and also be aware of all CCIA Notices. There aren't many people who want to be brigged for no reason, and nobody wants to be held until transfer without due cause. If necessary, you might even need to release a prisoner for being held unlawfully.

Equipment

All of the necessary equipment needed to be a warden can be found in the Warden's Locker within the Warden's office. It carries the expected array of equipment, including a disruptor, police tape, body armor, duty belt, and so on. This equipment is the same as what the Security Officers receive. There are additional items, however, that assist in running the brig.

The Warden receives two boxes of grenades in their locker; one box contains flashbangs and the other contains pepperspray grenades. These grenades are not for routine use, however are available to hand out to officers as needed to deal with certain situations aboard the vessel.

In order to service fines, the Warden receives an EFTPOS. This device is essentially a card reader that charges an inputted amount from whichever card is swiped. The device comes with a list of instructions on use alongside the access code needed to set-up the scanner.

In some cases, there is not an ID available for a prisoner. In these situations, there is a box of blank id-cards in your closet. These can be used to process prisoners who have "lost" their own id-cards. To do so, get one of the blank id-cards from the box in your closet, remove any gloves the prisoner might be wearing, then target their hands and click on them with the blank id-card in hand. This is done to imprint the biometric details of the prisoner onto the id-card. Once you have done that, you can use the id-card to sentence them as usual.

Don't Sit Around

Sitting at your desk is alright, but you should make sure to scan the cell blocks every once in a while to make sure no one is hurt in the cells, or there are any areas of break in. Your job is to protect all of security from people busting in, or out. A quick sweep every few minutes should be fine, being a warden is a mostly relaxing job, just make sure to stun anyone who is behaving suspiciously in security and hold them till the Head of Security comes. Remember, talk first, disarm second, kill if that's your only option (it never is).

If you are going to sit around, it may be worthwhile to update the security records for your prisoners. Seriously. Update the security records. Alternatively, you can help coordinate officers by taking the role of dispatch. Listen for calls for security over the radio and direct officers to these situations. Help with information or suggestions when it's necessary. Just remember to not start taking the roll of your boss.
