Security Cadet might be your first real job on the station after spending a few rounds as an assistant, or you made the enormous mistake of trying this out as your first role. This is not a role for absolute beginners. If you are unprepared for the hardship that comes with this job, E.I. if you do not know what the hell you're doing, do not take it on. Try out the other roles first, get a feel for what's normal and what's not, then come back.
It is suggested to read the Security Officer guide for details on the tools at your disposal.
The Art of Listening
The most important thing to do when you are starting out as a security officer is to listen to what your commanding officer, the crew, the passengers, and even the clowns are saying to you. If you fly off the handle when confronted with a slightly irritating situation, you will immediately be labeled as "shitsec," and the people will be right to rise against you. The greatest tool in your tool-belt is not the baton, it's your ears. When you listen, you will know how to diffuse a situation. When you listen, you will come to understand who is lying and who is telling the truth. Some people are bad at speaking, give them the benefit of the doubt and ask follow up questions. Be a good listener.
Authority
As a Security Cadet, you have a lot of pressure put on you to perform well. Do not allow this to get to you. You are expected to call in more experienced people to deal with situations that you are unsure of. If you take the law into your own hands too quickly, there can be consequences under Space Law. Familiarize yourself with this as well as you can. Don't allow your authority to get to your head and take things too far, but also don't allow clown murder to become the norm. No one likes clown murder.
