Security is one of the primary branches of the [[Arcana Containment Initiative|ACI]], responsible for the safety and security of the many facilities and branches of the organization.
Security is a distinct department from related branches, such as containment or acquisitions and procurement, but often works side by side in carrying out the objectives of the organization.
# Staff Types
The security department tends to attract individuals suchs as [[Fighter]] and [[Barbarian]] types, but also employs [[Sorcerer]] and the occasional [[Warlock]] as well, when arcane measures are called for. Officers of the security department tends to be well equipped with a variety of devices both mundane and arcane as needed.
*(See [[Technology and Equipment]] for more information)*
## Security Officer
The security officer is the backbone of the security department as well as being it's fist. Security Officers are typically made up of [[Fighter|fighters]] and other classes with proficiencies for both ranged and melee combat.
Officers are well equipped as a rule and are typically deployed in what are known as "Quads", groups of four who have trained together extensively. The standard quad configuration consists of one command unit, a scout, and two grunts.
Larger groups may be organized with special or even unique configurations in order to serve any need that may arise. The [[Arcane Critical Response Team]] is one such special team.
## Security Enforcer
Enforcers are the heavy muscle of the security department. Deployed in pairs enforcers come in a variety of disciplines including:
- **Heavy Armor Support (HAS)** - a team of heavy armor experts who are skilled in soaking up damage without breaking a sweat.
- **Counter Arcane Support (CAS)** - a team of [[Wizard|wizards]] who specializes in counter spell and banishment to neutralize hostile spellcasters.
- **Armored Medical Support (AMS)** - a team of heavily armored [[Paladin]] and [[Cleric]] staff trained in healing and other combat supports.
