==Jurisdiction== | ==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. | |||
