Introduction

Federation Security is the criminal investigation and policing arm of the United Federation of Planets.

Motto

The motto of the Federation Security Agency is Vallo Lex, Latin for "Defending the Law."

Jurisdiction

The jurisdiction of Federation Security extends to all Federation member worlds, facilities, colonies, installations and vessels. However, it is important to note that the authority of Federation Security does not supercede that of local/regional law enforcement or Starfleet Security except in the case of a crime or its perpetrator crossing from the territory of one Federation member world to another -- or in the case of a suspect leaving Federation space entirely.

Federation Security has arrest and detention power over any Federation citizen (with just cause, of course). That includes Starfleet officers, though prosecution of Starfleet officers in generally handled via military tribunal or court martial rather than civilian court, unless under exceptional circumstances.

Rank Structure & Comparisons

As a civilian organization, Federation Security does not have "ranks" per se, but there are positions within the organizations that are comparable to those found in Starfleet.

• Constable: the FedSec position of Constable is roughly equivalent in seniority and responsibility to the Starfleet rank of Ensign.
• Junior Agent: a Junior Agent position is comparable to the Starfleet rank of Lieutenant JG.
• Agent: seniority and responsibilities of a FedSec Agent are equivalent to those of a Starfleet Lieutenant.
• Inspector: an Inspector for FedSec is comparable to a Lieutenant Commander in Starfleet.
• Assistant Director: the Starfleet comparable for a SedSec Assistant Director would be the rank of Commander.
• Regional Director: the FedSec position of Regional Director is similar in scope and authority as the Starfleet Rank of Captain.
• Director: as the highest-ranking individual in FedSec service, the position of Director can be compared to the Starfleet rank of Fleet Admiral.
