 * '''Chief of Intelligence''': At the very top of the Intelligence totem pole is the Chief of Intelligence. He or she is ultimately in charge of Intelligence Operations throughout all of Federation space and beyond. The Chief of Intelligence reports directly to the Commander, Starfleet and the President of the UFoP.
+==Jurisdiction==
+The purpose of Starfleet Intelligence is to gather accurate and up-to-date information on threats both foreign and domestic, which can be turned into usable intelligence for all branches of Starfleet.
+==Divisions==
+Whil most Starfleet Intelligence operations occur under the normal chain of command, there are more specialized divisions for specific tasks.
+* '''Organized Crime''': Organized crime represents a menace to Federation society; it exploits the needs of the disadvantaged and provides illicit services and exhorbetant cost. The most famous example of this, is the Orion Syndicate whose illegal operations include gambling, racketeering, smuggling, piracy, slave-trading, extortion, and assassination. The Organized Crime Division is comprised of dedicated Starfleet Intelligence Officers who are committed to the extermination of this menace from Federation society.
+* '''Counter-Intelligence''': While Starfleet Intelligence is a highly effective intelligence service, it should not be forgotten that many other nations have their own intelligence services. The Counter-Intelligence division's purpose is to prevent hostile intelligence organizations from gathering and collecting intelligence against the Federation.
+* '''Internal Affairs''': The Internal Affairs Division investigates incidents involving misconduct of Officers. Unlike the internal affairs divisions of other branches of Starfleet, SFI's Internal Affairs Division  has jurisdiction throughout all of Starfleet.
+==Related Entities==
+===[[Security (Duty Post)|Starfleet Security]]===
+* Despite an occassionally adversarial relationship, Starfleet Intelligence and Starfleet Security are two very intertwined entities.  The mandate of both organisations includes maintaining the safety and security of Starfleet, its ships, facilities and installations as well as its personnel.  Starfleet Intelligence officers are frequently involved in Starfleet Security operations.
+===[[Marines|Starfleet Marines]]===
+* Despite a frequently adversarial relationship, Starfleet Security and Starfleet Marines are often forced to work together in various capacities.  In some instances, Starfleet Marines may even be placed under the command of a Starfleet Security officer and may be required to supplement the security forces of a Starfleet vessel or installation.
+===[[Federation Security]]===
+* A civilian law enforcement agency, Federation Security provides very similar services to non-Starfleet Federation vessels and facilities that Starfleet Security provides to naval vessels and facilities.
+===Local/Regional Law Enforcement===
+* Though interaction between Starfleet Security and regional law enforcement agencies is not a regular occurance, it does happen.  In all but the most exceptional of cases, civilian authority is deemed to hold precendence over Starfleet Security.  This is, of course, assuming the incident in question occurred in the jurisdiction of the civilian authority.
