Starfleet Security is a component agency of the military organization associated with the United Federation of Planets. Starfleet being the naval branch of the Federation, it is understood there must be a law enforcement branch to enforce laws and policy, investigate breaches of those laws and policies, and provide protective services to Starfleet vessels and installations.
The United Federation of Planets is an organization that is analogous to the United Nations of Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries, with a simpler breakdown of resources which would be closer to the United States Department of Homeland Security.Various branches formed under the umbrella of the DHS included investigative and enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, and Secret Service; each of which had similar, yet unique duties. The UFoP oversees a multitude of organizations within the Federation umbrella, each having specific duties associated to their respective jurisdictions.
Starfleet Security is similar to the United States Navy Military Police as it was in the 21st century. The Security Officer's duties include providing security, implementing policy and preserving stability within the Fleet.

Pre-Mission duties of the Starfleet Security Officer begins with the mission briefing.

'''RISK ASSESSMENT:'''Through the compilation of information about the various aspects of the mission, the security department can determine the associated risks to the away team and the mission. Using the acronym P.E.A.C.E., the assessment can be managed and delegated to reduce the individual workload.
'''Planning:'''  Logistics planning, such as numbers of crew, mission goals, potential outcomes, and other factors.
'''Event:''' Specifics about the mission event(s) complexity and dynamics
'''Asset:''' Selection of appropriate resources. Factors that effect risk including time at unit, familiarity with the operational area, time on scene causing fatigue, crew selection, and management resources.
'''Communications''': Ability to maintain communications throughout the entirety of the mission.
'''Environment''': External conditions surrounding the mission, such as weather conditions, terrain structure and composition, visibility.
===RISK MANAGEMENT:===
Risk Management is the decision to control or reduce hazards.
One method of Control Options to assist in risk control or reduction uses the acronym S.T.A.A.R. During the mission, security staff must review the options and reassess the risks as appropriate.
Spread-out – Disperse the risk by increasing the time between events or using additional assets.
Transfer – If practical, locate a better-suited asset to conduct the mission (i.e. different type of asset or crew).
Avoid – Circumvent hazard: Wait for risk to subside (i.e. wait until daylight or weather passes).
Accept – In some cases the benefit might justify the assumption of risk. In these cases, a decision to accept risk may be made with the stipulation that risk is reevaluated as the mission progress.
Reduce – Reduce or limit risk exposure through the use of personal protective gear (Environmental Suits, Forcefields, Constructing Barriers, etc.), additional training or rest or rest periods for stress reduction, and timed interactions with potentially hostile negotiations.


The completion of the risk assessment and risk management component of the pre-mission planning helps to identify the mission specific and general equipment that will be needed by the security team. The selection of equipment is to be approved by the Chief of Security and the mission commander.
