Riots are much less common than the burglaries, homicides and alien attacks that Security deals with on a regular basis.

Knowledge of [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure]], [[Space Law]], and the [[Guide to Security]] are essential to handling this. Because Security can be easily overwhelmed by large groups, especially if officers are spread thin addressing other crimes, it's important to act with extreme caution.

Riot Control
Introduction
Riots are much less common than the burglaries, homicides and alien attacks that Security deals with on a regular basis. However, with enough time spent playing Security Officer or Warden, chances are you will encounter a situation where a riot has broken out or there is a chance of crowd-control measures failing. Knowledge of Legal Standard Operating Procedure, Space Law, and the Guide to Security are essential to handling this. Because Security can be easily overwhelmed by large groups, especially if officers are spread thin addressing other crimes, it's important to act with extreme caution. For the love of Space Jebus, don't run in with your baton, or start throwing flashbangs till half the crew is blind/deaf.
You Will Need
The bare minimum gear required will be your HUD glasses, flash and pepper spray, armor and helmet, and extra bolas and zip-ties. Riot helmets and shields are useful when the situation is escalating or there are assailants targeting Officers or station property. The taser plays less of a role than in normal arrests, but may come in handy for self-defense or firing disabler beams through windows. Riot Suits will offer extra protection from fists, knives, and tools, but will impede your movement significantly and will be seen by the crowd as getting ready for a fight.
