For example, it is redundant to apply both Major Theft (310) and Theft (210), and only Major Theft (310) should be applied; but it would not be redundant to apply both Manslaughter (~~302~~) and ~~Breaking & Entering~~ (~~212~~).		# '''Avoid''' adding redundant, lower charges to records, unless they are of a different classification or pertinent to be considered.

	# If a criminal has committed ~~a Grand~~ (~~4XX~~) or ~~Capital~~ (~~5XX~~) crime, '''consider''' whether they should be placed into permabrig.

	# When placing a prisoner in a temporary cell, you should first '''ensure that they are handcuffed'''.

	The Captain or Head of Security should set the price, if any, of a weapon permit. The standard price is 300 credits, but Nanotrasen allows station to set any price they wish. Any weapon permit sales should go to the station's defense budget account, not the Head of Personnel's pocketbook. Doing so is considered embezzlement of defense funds. Additionally, the price of a weapon permit should not be set individually, and should be the same price for every person.
