What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
1. Adds one or two new whitelists to GSD. Lieutenant and or Sergeant. Adding in one Sr.CL4 to GSD and one Jr.CL4. Moving CPT to Sr.Cl4 and adding in either one more Sr.CL4 or Sergeant to Jr.Cl4
2. Changing Officer and removing their loadout kit and retaining the loadout kit to just SRU.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I believe so, I'm not 100%, I think this was the system beforehand but not to this degree
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1. Streamlined authority within GSD. Quite literally impossible to manage all of GSD as just a Captain. CoS also deals with all of the GSD back the background information as well.
2. Keeps the GSD outfit streamlined by not having 3/4ths of the group roaming around the facility for no reason other than to mingle. Officers are a level requirement and should not be allowed to move around the facility at their discretion, that should be exclusive to license holders.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
People complaining there is another whitelist? I don't really see a negative to wanting to organize a unorganized group, that coincidentally is the starter group for all new players on the server
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
1. GSD is in shambles 90% of the time because of the amount of responsibilities tied to one person/one job. GSD is essentially the starter position so it having the strongest foundation supporting it only makes sense. Captains have to organize dblock, organize sweeps, ensure all personnel are following CoC and CoE at all times in Dblock and around the facility(How is this even possible?), run tryouts, log the tryouts etc.. etc.. This list alone is a full time job, with CoS being the only other WL that can support, all others are at the discretion of the person playing whether they wish to assist in the workload or not.
2. Officer should not have the ability to roam the facility as that leaves Guard/Cadet and possibly SRU which is never played because why would you take a lower clearance level job over just playing officer which effectively does the same job with no Tranq pistol. Patrol kit should be designated to SRU and SRU only. They are a response unit and Officer is a Security Officer, that leaves the lowest and most inexperienced members left in dblock to defend and ensure testing is efficient, which it most certainly never is.

Introduction
The General Security (GenSec) department within Site65 operates under a hierarchical command structure that is crucial for maintaining the safety and security of the facility. The current hierarchy, predominantly featuring Captains and the Chief of Security, has identified gaps in leadership and operational efficiency. This proposal advocates for the inclusion of two additional whitelisted roles, Lieutenant and Sergeant, into GenSec's structure, with an emphasis on integrating specific security clearance levels to further delineate responsibilities and authority within the department.
Current Challenges
- Limited Leadership Tiers: The current gap between Captains and frontline security personnel leads to overburdened Captains and a lack of intermediate leadership for guidance and quick decisionmaking.
- Operational Inefficiency: With a broad span of control, Captains are stretched thin across various operational areas, impacting their ability to provide close supervision and immediate tactical decisions.
- Communication Bottlenecks: Critical information and orders must funnel through a narrow command structure, delaying response times and potentially compromising security protocols.
- Professional Development: The lack of intermediate roles limits opportunities for professional growth and mentorship within GenSec, potentially affecting morale and longterm personnel retention.
Proposal Overview
To address operational challenges and improve the command efficiency within GenSec, the introduction of the Lieutenant and Sergeant roles, classified under Senior Clearance Level 4 and Junior Clearance Level 4 respectively, is proposed. This classification aims to provide a more nuanced command structure, enhancing decisionmaking capabilities and operational response times.
Security Clearance Specifications
Sergeant Junior Clearance Level 4
Role and Responsibilities: Sergeants will act as the tactical leaders for frontline security operations, overseeing the direct supervision of security personnel, and ensuring the execution of GenSec protocols on the ground. Sergeants would serve as team leaders or supervisors for frontline security personnel, responsible for direct supervision, tactical decisionmaking, and daytoday operational guidance.
Clearance Justification: The Junior Clearance Level 4 will empower Sergeants with access to sensitive information pertinent to daily security operations, while restricting access to higherlevel strategic data reserved for Senior Clearance holders. This ensures Sergeants are wellinformed to make immediate tactical decisions without compromising the integrity of broader operational strategies.
Clearance Justification: The Junior Clearance Level 4 will empower Sergeants with access to sensitive information pertinent to daily security operations, while restricting access to higherlevel strategic data reserved for Senior Clearance holders. This ensures Sergeants are wellinformed to make immediate tactical decisions without compromising the integrity of broader operational strategies.
Lieutenant Senior Clearance Level 4
Role and Responsibilities: Lieutenants will serve as the strategic link between the department's Captains and the operational units, overseeing specific security divisions and coordinating complex operations. Lieutenants would act as the operational commanders directly under Captains, tasked with overseeing specific areas or units within GenSec, such as the Security Response Unit or the Security Containment Unit.
Clearance Justification: The Senior Clearance Level 4 designation for Lieutenants enables them to access a broader range of strategic and operational information, facilitating informed decisionmaking and effective oversight of GenSec's specialized units.

Captain Senior Clearance Level 4
Role and Responsibilities: Captains retain their position as highlevel commanders within GenSec, responsible for overarching strategy, resource allocation, and interdepartmental coordination.
Clearance Justification: Captains, along with Lieutenants, hold Senior Clearance Level 4, reflecting their need to access and evaluate highlevel security information and make decisions that impact the facility's overall security posture.

Operational and Strategic Benefits
Streamlined Decision Making with Classified Access
Differentiating between Junior and Senior Clearance Level 4 for Sergeants and Lieutenants/Captains respectively allows for a tiered access to information. This ensures that each role is equipped with the necessary information to fulfill their duties effectively while maintaining operational security.
Enhanced Operational Security and Efficiency
The clear delineation of clearance levels strengthens GenSec's operational security, ensuring sensitive information is accessible only to those with appropriate levels of authority and responsibility.
Targeted Training and Professional Development
The classification of clearance levels facilitates the development of targeted training programs, tailored to the specific roles and responsibilities associated with each clearance level, enhancing the professional competency of GenSec personnel.
Professional Development and Morale
Establishing clear career paths and opportunities for advancement within GenSec fosters a motivated and committed workforce, directly contributing to the department's operational success and the overall mission of Secure, Contain, Protect.
Specialized Leadership and Focus
By delineating strategic, operational, and tactical leadership roles, each tier can focus on their specific domain of expertise, leading to more effective and specialized security operations.
Improved Communication and Coordination
A more nuanced command hierarchy facilitates better communication and coordination within GenSec and with other departments, enhancing the overall security posture of Site65.
Conclusion:
The introduction of Lieutenant and Sergeant roles, classified under Senior and Junior Clearance Level 4 respectively, addresses critical needs within GenSec's command structure. This approach not only enhances operational efficiency and security but also provides a clear pathway for professional development and career progression within the department. By adopting this proposal, Site65 can ensure a more effective, responsive, and secure operational environment, aligned with the SCP Foundation's mission to Secure, Contain, Protect.
