Why are you applying for Internal Security Inspector?
The primary reason that I'm applying for ISD Inspector is to help manage the operations of the Internal Security Department. With the loss of 2 of our commissioners recently I feel that there is a void in the leadership team of our department that I may be able to assist in filling. I have strong knowledge of the CoC, CoE, and the department handbook and am looking to help guide our agents, operatives, and investigators in their duties and grow their knowledge to further enhance the quality of staff that we employ.

What makes you suitable for Internal Security Inspector?

I feel that I'm suitable for the Inspector position as I have been around the Internal Security Department for a large majority of my time within the site, and have shown dedication and responsibility to uphold the laws and peace within the facility. I have shown that I am able to retain the knowledge within most Site-65 documentation and uphold the FLC in all scenarios. I also have not had any sub-standard run-ins with any members of Site Administration or Ethics Committee.

What do you think describes an ideal Internal Security Inspector?

An ideal Inspector is someone who upholds site policies and is able to teach others within the facility to help with their lack of knowledge. An Inspector should also be calm, cool, and collected, as to not lose their temper when dealing with unruly site personnel. The ideal Inspector should also be fair in their proceedings and not allow their emotions to sway their rulings when sentencing personnel who do not follow the Legal Codex.

How many major, roleplay-serving documents have you written? What makes a document of this nature good in terms of quality?

Whilst I have not written any *major* roleplay-serving documents, I have written multiple reports about localized Site anomalies and strange occurrences.

What are the responsibilities of the Internal Security Inspector in RP?

Inspectors are responsible for continuing regular ISD duties such as upholding the CoC, CoE, and FLC. Whilst also assisting Investigators in their personnel & departmental investigations. Additional responsibilities include, but are not limited to, training new agents/operatives and investigators, along with grading documents submitted by these members of the department. Certain duties are only needed depending on the sub-department team that the inspector has joined.

Please elaborate on why you think you'd be a good leadership position holder for Internal Security:

I feel that my attitude and time on site would allow me to be a good fit for the leadership position. I try to stay upbeat and approachable at all times, maintaining good relationships with members of other departments, allowing for members of those departments to feel comfortable to come to me about any issues they may have. Some members of other departments may feel too intimidated to come to ISD leadership about complications or issues that they have with members of our staff and I feel that I may alleviate some of that stress, whilst also being able to re-educate the members of our staff on their responsibilities and duties in order to provide better security within the site.

Please give some lore about your Internal Security Inspector character and what storylines they would be involved in:
Walter Smoth started his life as many others do, growing up in a loving family in Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin. Walter has seen plenty of things happen in town, most of which many would call 'strange' or 'anomalous', but to Walter, and many others in this town they were just a daily part of life. Ever since Walter was a child, he had always wanted to work with a career in teaching. Unfortunately, Sloth's Pit didn't have any major universities that offered a teaching degree, and the military presence outside of town rarely allowed for anyone to leave. Instead, Walter opted to pursue a joint degree in criminal justice & criminal law. Following the completion of his degree, Walter was approached by men in suits, stating that they were members of the local S&C Plastics, and after seeing his scores from university wanted to recruit him into a law firm within their institute. Walter was recruited into what he would later find out to be known as Site-87, within their Department of Extra-Universal Affairs. Walter was originally tasked within this team to help monitor the members of the department during their travels and make sure that they stick to Site-87 protocol for all expeditions. Throughout this work Walter learned a lot, gaining information about the countless different realities and sub-dimensions that The Foundation had access to. During travels, some of the members of the research team taught Walter a bit about Thaumaturgy and how he could utilize this in order to protect himself incase of unforeseen circumstances.

Years passed with Walter working for Site-87, when an opportunity came knocking on his door. Site Command came to him and offered him a transfer to Site-65, located in Saskatchewan, Canada as they were in need of a Dimensional Cartographer, and felt that his background and work with Site-87 complimented the needs properly. Walter took this opportunity and was shortly thereafter transferred by train to Site-65. Upon arrival at the new site, Walter noticed some major differences between this and his old work environment. Most notably, the site held many more Anomalies than his previous site, and thus required a much larger staff. Walter worked with Site-65 as a Dimensional Cartographer for a period of time before quickly growing tired of the job, noting that there were not nearly as many dimensions to travel and discover as in his previous site. Months went by, and upon an opening within the Internal Security Department of the site, Walter talked with Site Leadership and applied to work within the department, stating that his degree and previous experience could be greatly utilized elsewhere. Site Leadership and ISD leadership agreed, and thus Walter officially became an Agent of the Internal Security Department of Site-65.

Whilst working under ISD, Walter held onto his uniform from the Research Department so that he could help with certain studies in his downtime, and would occasionally dawn the uniform to carry out testing with new Anomalies or pursue discoveries that he had come upon. Within his tenure as an agent, Walter had shown great promise within the department, and Inspector J. Dolus would approach him to officially become an investigator, to further his career and help grow the department. As an Investigator, Walter has shown great promise, helping to educate the young Agents & Operatives who join the team, and assisting in proper investigations to keep the site safe and disciplined. Walter has recently joined the Field Training & Education Team in order to further assist in the trainings of young agents and help site personnel understand the information provided within the CoC and CoE.
