As Chief of Security and a long-standing member of General Security, I notice SRU is rarely, if ever used except by those that don't have access to Officer. I find that this makes the role redundant and just a waste. I wish to change that with this suggestion. Although primarily an SRU suggestion, I will make one suggestion for Sergeant while I'm here.
What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
SRU Changes:
Removal of D-Block Station Kit
Upping to CL 3 GSD
Change Patrol loadout to contain:
Base GSD equipment
F90 MBR
USP
Deployable Shield
Tranq
Interrogate Tool
Sergeant Changes:
Add Tranq gun
This would come along with a change in GSD policy to make SRU a patrol unit and Officer a D-Block unit, giving SRU a unique identity.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Yes, former Chief of Security Mace made a suggestion a long time ago involving a GenSec and D-Class rework. While his suggestion was on the entirety of GenSec and D-Block, mine is focused on Response Units. Link to Mace's post: https://civilnetworks.net/community/threads/the-gensec-rework-d-class.23143/
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
My planned changes would:
Revitalize SRU as a role, and give it a purpose outside of being a worse Officer.
Encourage GSD activity outside of D-Block via a dedicated patrol unit.
Allow GSD burnt out of D-Block to have a more readily available option to remain as GSD outside of D-Block.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Possible Negatives:
Excess of CL 3 personnel in the General Security Department
Abuse of their clearance by letting lower levels into restricted areas
Tranq abuse/spam against both combatives and innocents
Abuse of Interrogate Tool to steal keycards
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Given my listed positive and negative effects this change should still be accepted in some form in order to give new life to the SRU role, and to bring back GSD members that do not want to be in D-Block often and would rather be in LCZ and EZ. It would also expand GSD's presence on-site, making it more of a general security force, as in the name. As for abuse of their equipment, since SRU is a licensed role, it can be more easily controlled then Officer, and held to a higher standard, removing those that abuse the tools given to them. In the case of excess CL 3 personnel, I believe maintaining a CL 2 position but giving an armory override would still make the role more lucrative to many GSD members, as many have told me that the lack of armory access is a deal breaker, and I believe it cripples them and they are unable to replenish half of their hitpoints in the form of armor.
