== Investigations ==
As a detective, you are expected to be able to respond to a crime scene and figure out what went down. The detective will be alerted first when a [[Security Officer|security officer]] or a crew member reports a crime scene, or suspicious activities that occured in an area. Upon reaching the scene, you are equipped with several equipments that will assist in your investigation.

* '''Forensic gloves''' - These gloves are finely tuned to leave no traces or fibers behind, allowing you to interact with objects without contaminating the evidence. ALWAYS WEAR THEM.
* '''Forensic scanner''' - A tool used to scan various objects, doors/walls, or even people to obtain trails that are possibly left behind. You may be able to discover DNAs, fingerprints, or most commonly fibers from the results, from which you will need to find out manually by using the criminal records computer. A scan result can be printed, making a small paper.
* '''Logprobe''' - a program installed on your PDA, or installed using the Logprobe cartridge in the detective's room. This program allows you to see who opened or accessed a door by tapping your PDA to the chosen door. It will create a list of names and the time of their access, making it a handy tool to create a timeline and shorten possibilities. Keep in mind that it will ''only log the most recent 20 access attempts.'' A probe result can be printed, making a small paper.

At the crime scene, you need to scan any left over residue such as blood, spent shells, weapons left behind, and check the doors for any tampering or access logs. Make sure no one else attempts to enter or interact with the scene to ensure clean evidence, and no mops.

== Interrogations ==
You might be able to get witnesses or get a suspect, from which you need to question to discover what they've seen or heard. Try and build a rapport with the person if you suspect they won't cooperate easily. Small talks, gifts, and tossing a few jokes can ease the tensions and allow for more important questions.

Remember to ask these 5 crucial questions when you question someone.

# '''What''' - What happened? What did you see? What did you hear? What do you think happened?
# '''Who''' - Who did you saw? Who entered or left the room? Who was nearby or acting suspicious?
# '''Where''' - Where did you see it happen? Where was the crime scene? Where is the suspected person now?
# '''When''' - When did it happen? When did you see it? When did they enter?
# '''Why''' - Why did the victim/perpetrator do this? Why did they enter the room? Why did you enter the room?

Remember, '''witness statements are NOT concrete evidence.''' They might not be telling the whole truth...

== Developments ==
With evidences collected from the scene and witnesses, it's time to start building a timeline and find out what actually happened. Use the criminal records computer to match fingerprints or DNAs, and write down what you have collected so far into a piece of paper. You need to establish who the prime suspect is, how they did it, and why. Remember that you can write down on printed papers from your scanner and log probe to note down which DNAs or prints belong to who using a pen, making it easier to keep track of things. Once you are certain that you have a prime suspect or confirmed that a crew member was the culprit, notify the [[warden]] or [[Head of Security|HOS]] and change the status of the suspect to either "suspect" or "wanted". It is recommended that you put all your evidence and papers into a folder and submit it to your higherups with your stamps as a final touch.

== Undercover ==
With authorization from the [[Head of Security]], a detective can go undercover as a different job such as a janitor or any other non-security related jobs. This is most effective when you start your undercover at the start of the shift, as most crew won't know your real role yet. Going undercover can be useful when you want to gather information discreetly and avoid suspicions or tipping off antagonists that they're being suspected. If you're lucky or competent enough, you might be able to infiltrate the antagonist's connections and pose as one...

* An undercover detective must always have their detective ID for identification, though this doesn't mean you can't get a fake ID for your PDA and hide your real one in your backpack...
* Avoid wearing any visual equipments that shows you are a security member, ranging from uniforms, belts, to even headsets.
* Ask your Head of Security for a security headset key to insert into your undercover headset, allowing communications with security while keeping the visual disguise.
* Ensure that the head of whichever department you're infiltrating knows you, unless the head itself is the suspect.
* You're undercover, avoid doing suspicious things like conversing with fellow security officers, playing vigilante, or blatantly opening a security door
* It is recommended not breaking your cover for small crimes, and instead focus on targeting bigger crimes as once you're exposed, there's no going back.
* Be prepared to suffer the pain of doing a betrayal
* Ensure that your name does not show as detective in the crew monitoring console, and your icon changed to the respective disguise.
* '''NOTIFY YOUR OFFICERS THAT YOU'RE UNDERCOVER AND TELL THEM TO STOP REFERRING YOU AS DETECTIVE!!!'''

== Tips ==

* A detective can be an acting [[Security Officer|security officer]] if authorized by the [[Head of Security]], following the [[Security SOP|SOP]] for [[Security Officer|security officers]].
* A detective can tag along with another [[Security Officer|security officer]] at all alert levels.
* a red and black fibers usually means it belongs to a [[Security Officer|security officer]]'s gloves.
* Objects of interest might be cleaned with rags or soaps removing any evidence, keep that in mind!
* When undercover, make sure you are alone or in a secluded spot before making a report to your fellow officers about your findings through the headset.
* When trying to infiltrate an antagonist group, try requesting for a contraband from your [[warden]] to help improve the disguise, such as syndie weapons or even forged weapons.
* Unknown DNAs usually means animal blood, ranging from pet crews to your average critters.
* Again, confessions or witness statements are not always concrete evidence.
