Introduction

The Starfleet Security agency is responsible for ship and personnel security aboard all Starfleet vessels and installations, as well as select United Federation of Planets outposts, vessels, and facilities. It is the role of the Security Officer to protect the vessel/facility as well as its crew in addition to maintaining and enforcing Starfleet Security regulations, procedures and policies. In addition, this agency is responsible for security clearances of all Starfleet and Federation personnel.

Starfleet Security, in close cooperation with Starfleet Intelligence, is responsible for counter-intelligence operations.

In conjunction with Federation Security, the agency is also responsible for the security of the Federation President, as well as members of the Federation Council and visiting alien dignitaries.

Starfleet Rangers

• Starfleet Rangers have the status of a special branch of Starfleet Security. Starfleet officers from any department can serve in the Rangers under the aegis of the Security Branch. Some remain with the Rangers for many years, while others serve only a single tour of duty before accepting assignment elsewhere, usually a posting to a starship or starbase. Since the formation of the Rangers, Starfleet has seen an increasing number of career Ranger officers, who have devoted their entire career to the organization. These officers are valued for their experience and their ability to teach their skills to a new generation of Rangers.

• Starfleet Rangers is a fairly recent innovation in the service. The Rangers emphasize planetary survival skills and the ability to work alone for long periods of time, allowing Rangers-operating both singly and in small groups-to explore, patrol, and protect the borders of Federation space.

Rapid Response

• A joint Command and Security qualification, certifying the individual is capable of a high degree of readiness for rapid response missions.
• If the Rapid Response Officer billet is filled then that officer can administer the certification.
• The Rapid Response Task Groups are also reffered to as Hazard teams, in honour of there founders about USS Voyager.

Threat Response

• This is a Security section test which qualifies one to take a Security or Tactical station in the Operations Center or on an auxiliary vessel. It is considered cross-training in certain limited, emergency duties. The tests reflect knowledge of how to use the ship's weaponry, the protocols for internal security emergency response, and the rules governing use of external or internal force.

• By definition, all Tactical and Security officers on active and unrestricted duty, as well as certain officers designated by billet assignment (such as the Diplomatic Security Officer), hold this certification for as long as they hold their billet.

Demolitions/EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal)

• A joint Security and Engineering test which qualifies an officer to handle explosive ordinance for both placement and disposal.

• This job now tends to be carried out by the Starfleet Marine Corps (SFMC), however few Starfleet Officers hold this qualification.

Mission Security

The Mission Security certification is a Security test which will qualify an officer to serve as a Security operative on an Away Team. Concurrent with their billets, all Security Section officers on active and unrestricted duty hold this certification.

• Medical personnel, due to interstellar laws prohibiting medical officers from bearing sidearms on Away Missions, may not take this certification. Sciences officers are discouraged as well.

• This certification is intended for Operational Support personnel (Operations and Engineering officers) as well as junior Command personnel who wish to be authorized to bear sidearms and serve as adjunct Security personnel on Away Missions. By definition, active/unrestricted duty Security Section officers hold this certification for as long as they maintain their billet in good standing.
