Why are you applying for the Chief Of Security?
I find D-block to be an amazing place. The community is one of the best I’ve been apart of and I desire to build up the GENSEC community even more. I love helping newer players also. Due to most people who are new to site sign up to be cadets initially, a lot of lesser experienced personnel need assistance and that is why I wish to be the Chief Of Security Another reason is the image I have for the future of GSD. The Ex-Chief, Marrio Tazzul, created a powerful image and future for GSD and Ex-chief Tim Drake only fortified this powerful image and future, and I wish to uphold this as Chief to the best of my ability as they have done too. GSD has very little opportunities to be apart of the events that take place on-site. I want to change this, I want Gensec to be just as important in these events as anybody else.

Furthermore, my expansion from Captain to Chief will allow me more opportunities to expand the reputation, competency and future. I hope to massively improve inter-departmental relations with departments where it is clearly sour, for example ISD. Many members of GSD are not very friendly with other departments in high stress situations, and I wish to change this with stricter punishments for offenders, rewards for co-operative and friendly GSD and general co-operation across the board.

I also believe I have fantastic ideas for the future of GSD, mainly multiple operations and ways to properly organise GSD on ways of competency and professionalism. I believe instead of strictly punishing minor mistakes, we should give many more reward incentives to encourage people


What makes you suitable for the Chief Of Security?:
I have been in the position of Security Captain for a while now, roughly 4 months of experience as Captain, so I know many of the Captains, Sergeants and Response Units amongst D-block. I believe I have a decent reputation within GENSEC and this is why I’d to try and lead GENSEC to a better position. The additional leadership requirements of Chief is much more demanding than captain, but I truly believe I can confidently match this leadership requirement. Additionally, I love helping newer personnel, which mostly consist of cadets. Many are unsure about what their job is, how to do their job and how to maximise the efficiency of their job.

Moreover, I have a lot of experience in GSD, as I've been in GSD for a year and have had my Sergeant whitelist for 11 months at this point. This level of experience means I can easily manage GSD and perform even complex GSD procedures with ease. Finally, I have a positive relationship with all the GSD Captains and most of the Sergeants, so I believe leading them will be incredibly easy for me.

I also heavily believe I'd be a very skilled and reliable leader, as I am both very friendly with other members of GSD as well as willing to teach whenever someone seeks teaching. I have proven in the past to be excellent in dealing with high stress situations and crushing them with ease. I also have a very friendly relationship with most if not all captains.

I also believe I would be able to build up a legacy as CoS if I were to get accepted for the role. I've been captain twice and have been in GSD consistently for a full year. I haven't had any major controversial incidents that might question my competency as CoS. I've always had the idea that GSD need to work closely with other departments to perform at their most effective, as one department can't ensure the site's safety on their own.

What are the responsibilities of the Chief Of Security in RP?:
The responsibilities are as followed:
- Watching over the entire Department of Security
- Ensuring GENSEC are following the Chain Of Command, the Chief Of Security and maintain their professionalism
- Hosting weekly meetings for GENSEC seniors (CPT+)
- Looking over Security Department documents and ensuring they stay up to date
- Working closely with other department leaders should they make reports about GENSEC conduct or wish to discuss other matters
- Be a mentor to members of the Security Department
-Dealing with inter-departmental problems
-Looking over captain applications and either accepting or denying them. As well as performing interviews on accepted applicants>
-Making sure senior members of GSD are behaving professionally and representing the department well.
-Maintaining and organising the GSD roster and issuing strikes when required.
-Communicating with Site Administrating and FCOM to ensure departments are running adequately.

Ive known him long enough to know capability when i see it.
Good luck, Solus.
 
Could you post your vtime for us?

A lot of your answers are the same from your Capt app to your previous CoS app, and I believe this CoS app is the same as the one you submitted last time. I would've hoped to see different answers between the two that demonstrate what you've learned in the past month. (Similarily to how @Grayman changed his answers between DoISD App #1 and DoISD App #2) I also would love to see you expand more upon how you intend to continue Marrio's legacy, and make your own legacy as CoS. For a good example, I'd reference Marrio's app. I feel like it appropriately addressed the more overarching role & responsibilities of the CoS.

As for your contributions, our timezones must not line up as I haven't seen anything notable. Per most recent promotion date, @Darkix and yourself are the longest standing captains, so you've got that going for you. Therefore, I'm left reviewing what's been logged or is visible: you made the Sergeant interest form (But I don't see that you've logged any Sergeant interviews?) you have 7 tryouts logged, one training and one surface patrol that I can see. Are you able to expand upon what you've accomplished as a leader in GSD that makes you fit for this role?

A few questions, if you don't mind:

1) In your opinion, what are some of the best parts of GSD currently? What are some of the worst? How yould you - as CoS - sustain the best parts & change the worst?

2) What kind of operations & RP would you want to spearhead as CoS?

3) Have you spent any time with US GSD, and if so do you have any insight on how they do things versus how we do things?

+/- Support - As stated above, I would be happy to support if there were a little more effort put into the answers that demonstrate your understanding of the CoS position, and show how your actions will influence & improve GSD as a whole.

In regards to the similarities between apps, I've attempted to add some new things but all in all I can't think of anything off the top of my head to add in that wouldn't just be to inflate the size of it, though I do agree I should've adjusted and improved some of my answers, especially with the additional experience I've gotten between CoS apps. I'll edit my application and by tomorrow evening and I should have some improvements to implement. Apologies for not doing it in the first place.

And in regards to the logs, I haven't really had the opportunity to do any sergeant interviews as more recently we've had less people interested in becoming a sergeant and when we had a lot, I was much less available during that time due to family issues, which is why I often posted the information from the Sergeant Interest Form into the discord as I could do it on my phone and other captains can get them their interviews. I wouldn't say I've made any major breakthroughs as a captain, though I've had lots of ideas I've attempted to implement. I attempted to introduce a large scale d-class mole operation both last year and tried to get the idea rolling this year. I've also attempted to implement inter-departmental activities on a regular schedule, but I could once again not get the idea rolling. I managed to get the Sergeant Interest Form going and I have been able to. I won't keep saying I've had ideas i've failed to implement and use excuses to justify it, actions speak louder than words and I'm gonna keep trying to get the ball rolling with all my built up ideas.

1) Currently, I honestly think the best part of GSD as a whole currently is the friendliness between all members of GSD and willingness to co-operate with one another competently. Almost every member of GSD I've seen wants to communicate, make friends and better themselves for the department. Everyone treats each other like brothers and I couldn't be happier seeing it.

However, on the other hand of GSD, i think the worst part of GSD is the general boredom of "babysitting D-class". Oftentimes I see D-block completely empty yet there's over 10 GSD on site. GSD members just get bored sitting in d-block with nothing to do but occasionally shoot a stray d-class and watch a researcher torture a d-class and stuff. The most fun they have is messing with ISD or messing about with each other, and that's not good or healthy for the department and for the members of the department.

To fix all these issues, I'm planning on creating more activities for GSD to do both in and out of d-block, such as makeshift sports with co-operative d-class, more powerful incentive structures, less shouting and punishments for minor mistakes. To keep the comradery in GSD, it's all about making sure each member of GSD is incentivised, but not forced to work with each other to achieve a goal, like performing mini-sweeps, patrolling about site, helping each department with whatever they need. Both doing stuff in d-block to make it feel less like babysitting and doing stuff out of d-block to make it feel less like a leash to a pole.

2) A big operation I'd like to try and kickstart would be the ability to secure the whole site, not just D-block. Although d-block is the primary and main concern with GSD, they are the GENERAL security department, so I'd like to get more permanent sources of checkpoints around site for GSD to maintain whenever. For example an EZ checkpoint, PW checkpoint, LCZ checkpoint and even assistance with E-11 in the HCZ checkpoints. Yes, these checkpoints happen a lot already, but they're much more of a one time thing than a consistent thing GSD can uphold without getting lasso'd back to d-block cause a few people are too busy trying to hang 999 than to do their responsibility.

But another one I've been thinking of, which I've got a more broader idea of, is called "Operation Second Chances." This would mainly revolve around reforming D-class and allowing them to be genuine members of site. It's far fetched and difficult to organise, which is why I won't spoil all the details, but I've got a plan on how to implement it without causing major issues by making it a cross-operation with RSD. We'd basically implant brain monitor devices to constantly see if the D-class is trustworthy and reformed enough to be given a chance to become a member of site. Though, it's very much so in it's very early research phase.

3) I haven't spent much time on the US site, but I have met a few of the US GSD captains that used to be UK. They're very friendly and the US site seems to be even more effective than us at GSD duties, which is why I might plan a trip to the US site with other members of GSD to get a general idea and spend some more time on the US site. The main issue is, as always, timezones. I don't want to be screaming and shouting at midnight.


I deeply appreciate your feedback on my application, it's rare to see genuine and very useful critique on stuff and I likely wouldn't have seen without the issues with my app without a second opinion. I'm gonna try and pump out the changes to my application as soon as I can. I hope this response has helped you, thank you!
