Security Department

“''This department is responsible for providing security and protection for all Foundation facilities and objects, regardless of their priority. SD employees are trained to counteract containment breach events, intrusions, sabotage, natural disasters, and other emergencies. Newcomers to this service usually undergo general training before being assigned to an object or site. Special training for working with a given object is performed on-site after assignment.''”

Description
Security Department (also known as SD) is a Default Team. They are Foundation personnel tasked with defending the facility from outer groups, as well as putting a stop to Class-D riots and guarding the Class-D Cells. They are often used as protective information or escorts for the Class-D in experiments conducted by the Scientific Department. It is the first combatant role that personnel unlock in the Foundation. Security Department personnel also have access to an Equipment Locker, which allows them to personalize their headgear.

Appearance
Security Department employees wear a light gray full-body security jacket with Security Department insignia on the arm pads. They wear a military balaclava that hides the majority of their face under a ballistic mask, as well as a visor to shield their eyes. In addition, security personnel wear a regular bullet jacket with a utility belt and a gun holster at the knee. As security personnel rank up, their helmets may be replaced by berets. The color of the beret can change as they advance in the Security Department. When personnel upgrade Security Department, they will retain their former uniform with the exception of it being black. Security Department personnel can switch between berets and helmets. The Security Department is one out of three roles that can be upgraded.

Berets
Security Department personnel with the rank of Staff Sergeant have the option of wearing Berets. With the exception of General, each rank would have a new beret color. When opening Equipment Lockers, Security Department employees have the choice of switching between beret colors. The chart below displays the various beret colors and the rank needed to wear them.

Equipment
Security Department staff have a keycard correlating to their level of access in the facility. They carry an M4 Assault Rifle with a 30-round magazine, along with a standard radio which allows them to communicate with all foundation personnel. Security Department personnel can also purchase weapons from shops at the Class-D Cells.
