This document is specifically detailed to new cadets of the Security Department. It will go over all the necessary information that cadets need to know in a more simplified manner. This does not attempt to replace Operational Procedures nor Duties within the Security Guidelines but rather provide a broad overview and a guide to assist Security Cadets in their day to day operations, compiling tips and key information spread out from the Code of Ethics to the intricate Operational Procedures.
This document may be referenced during orientation, so it is expected to have it opened.
Below are quick bullet points with pictures of certain locations around the site. This does not include every location, just ones that cadets need to know. Cadets are still expected to explore the site in the SD Private Server on their own time to get a better idea of the other locations.
Security Headquarters
The security headquarters is where all none division members of the Security Department spawn.
Inside of this area is Coach, the Security vendor. He will supply you with all the equipment that you may need to conduct your duties on-site.
There is also the firing range, head on over to improve your aim out of combat trainings.
The Security Garage is where you are able to spawn in vehicles used to drive around the site.
Anomalous Containment Hub
Often abbreviated as "ACH";
Beyond this area is the Containment Zones, the LCZ and MCZ.
Only reasons to enter should be for testing or pursuing a hostile Class-D Subject. You must have MTF permission to enter.
This area is under the authority of Mobile Task Force, Eta-9 "Wardens."
Security Detachment regulations may differ on when entering this area.
Civil Sector Road Gate
Located in the Civil Sector Tunnel separating the Hamilton Office Complex and Administrative Complex.
Should a breach be called, all civil personnel are to be evacuated to the Hamilton Office Complex.
Should the breached SCP be spotted heading towards the Civil Sector, the gate is to be closed.
Restricted to Guard+
HOC Blastdoor

Should a breach be called, all civil personnel are to be evacuated behind the Hamilton Office Complex BD.
The BD should only be closed if the SCP passes the Civil Sector Road Gate.
Controls are located under the desk (red button) behind the BD. An override is located in the booth next to the HOC Lobby.
Emergency Breach Shelter
Often abbreviated as "BS";
Should the civil sector be breached, the emergency shelter will be used.
The Breach Shelter should only be closed if the SCP passes the HOC Blastdoor
SD should maintain standard breach positions, located in the master guidelines.
Controls are located in the Security Room at the top of the stairs.
Cleanrooms
Often abbreviated as "CR”;
This is where non-sentient SCP tests are conducted;
Base SD may enter CR freely, but cannot access the SCP chambers themselves without valid reasoning.
If MP is not present at the checkpoint to brief, base SD will take over briefing.
Cleanrooms Loading Bay
Often abbreviated as "CRLB" or "LB"
This area is located within the Cleanrooms therefore is a key protected area.
LB is where the SCP boxes are stored;
Loading Bay is usually where CDs go when attempting to escape.
SD are permitted freely inside here.
Outer CDCZ
Entrance to the main CDC.
SD are expected to park their vehicles down below in designated carpark spots.
Located outside is a manhole cover that Class-Ds can escape from. (back right)
Transfer Gates
This is where Class-Ds are briefed before testing / janitorial duties;
SD should utilize the transfer gates, not the transfer doors, when taking Class-Ds. If possible, request for another SD to operate the gates;
Only one gate should be opened at a time.
Viewing Area
Located in the Class-D Containment Zone;
This is right inside the Viewing Area;
SD positioned here should be ready to evacuate personnel in the event of a riot/breach;
SD positioned here also prevents hostages from being taken, allowing them to shoot any unauthorized CDs in here;
At maximum 2 SD may be positioned here.
Inner CDCZ
Located within the CDC is the CDCZ Guardline, CDC Access Road, and Security Outpost.
Access Road can only be used by EMS and SD Detachments. (Left)
The Security Outpost houses the Security Housing Unit. (Right)
CDCZ Guardline
This is where SD guards in the CDCZ;
Strike and Termination guidelines should be followed while present at the Guardline;
While there are no set positions, SD are encouraged to get behind some sort of cover. The Upper Scaffolding Area is prioritized for individuals who own long range weapons.
Security Housing Unit (SHU)
DFSC stands for "Due for Solitary Confinement";
Once a CD has obtained 3 strikes, they are marked as DFSC. Once SD captures them, they are to be brought near the cells to receive a green uniform. They are to be released to the main CDCZ afterwards.
Once a CD has obtained 4 strikes, they should be left in a cell.(Usually done automatically)
Located within the Security Outpost of CDCZ
CDCZ Inner Gates
Gates can be used by Senior+ and Detachments during riot protocol, alternative way to lock the Class-Ds within without calling a full CDC Lockdown.
Small Security Room located on the right houses the controls, the red line outlined should also be considered a Guardline.
During normal operations, Cadets should be positioned in these areas around the site. Cadets are not expected to stay in one location and may move freely to different positions or patrol around the site.
Cadets positioned in public areas may interact with Civil personnel and non-hostile SCPs. These interactions should be kept mature and respectful, regardless of whoever it is.
Tram Stations
Located in the Hamilton Office Complex and CDC Sector;
SD may be positioned on different pillars other than the ones in this picture;
At maximum 4 SD may be positioned in each Tram Station
Cleanrooms

SD may NOT enter the lower levels via the elevator. (Dam Cr, Turbine Hall)
The Military Police and ETS Command have full authority over the ETS Sector and have the right to ask you to leave.
In Paragon Research Institute, there are many SCPs that roam freely around the site. This should not raise any alarm so long as the SCP does not become hostile; in which MTF Eta-9 should be called to deal with it. Below are some regulations when interacting with any non-hostile SCPs:
Only interact with SCPs if they interact with you first
Maintain normal positions / patrols otherwise
Do not participate in crowding around the SCP
Interactions should not get in the way of duties / assignments
Interactions should be respectful and mature and should not in any way be used to entice the SCP into committing a malicious act
Do not attack any SCPs whatsoever
The only exception is SCP-662 “Mr. Deeds” when he starts attacking facility personnel or yourself
SCP-049-2 and SCP-035 may not be shot at unless authorized by MTF Eta-9
Certain SCPs are usually guarded by MTF Eta-9, meaning they are able to exercise their authority to dismiss you. Maintain a reasonable distance away from the SCP.
For more information on certain SCPs, visit the Paragon Science Hub
