While tensions may rise between station crew or Central Command, the protection of NanoTrasen personnel is paramount! As such, NanoTrasen has authorized the Blue Shield Officer to take any necessary action to protect their investments even if it breaks corporate law. The Blue Shield Officer should not be pursuing potential threats within reason, especially if this puts the safety of NanoTrasen or command staff at risk!

Security should not hinder you from completing your job, any issues should be resolved through the H.O.S or Captain. The Blue Shield Officer cannot interfere with the lawful arrest of command staff.

If you are unable to revive your V.I.P safely and securely, it is advised that you bring them to brig-medical. Remember to ask before taking supplies, as they are scarce!

Preparing for success

Utilize the "Command-Friend X0-1" - This device is a hand-held crew monitor which displays the location of command staff or individuals with a tracking implant.

When protecting so many high-valued personnel, you are bound to run into trouble and you cannot be everywhere at once! Therefore, you may be the first responder to a injured member of command, NanoTrasen has given you a combat medical kit, inside it contains life saving topical's along with auto-injector's. You should prepare for hazardous environments during your shift, It is well known the station is equipped with emergency airlocks, when possible keep a crowbar on you to aid in opening said airlocks.

Using your stamp

While it's uncommon for the Blue Shield Officer to be caught up in paperwork, they are required to document any weapon taken from armory with signed and stamped approval from the Head Of Security or Warden.

The Blue Shield Officer should partner with the NanoTrasen representative when resolving issues on station, if the Blue Shield Officer cannot perform their duties you should report this to Central Command for immediate investigation. Keep in mind the captain must have approval from central command to fire any NanoTrasen personnel, unless they are actively detrimental to the station and its crew.
