Intruder alert was an alert status on Federation starships and space stations. It could be declared at any time, by computer or any crewmember upon detecting an intruder on board. It could also be activated automatically based on predefined criteria, such as entering a restricted area. The alert was announced by audio and crewmembers were expected to take appropriate action. In 2266, a security alert 3 announced a possible intruder aboard a vessel. (TOS: "Dagger of the Mind") Intruder alert was also known as "general quarters security condition three". (TOS: "The Man Trap")

In 2364, Wesley Crusher rushed to the bridge to warn of an impending intruder alert he detected while experimenting with ship's long range sensors.

In 2373, Captain Kathryn Janeway underwent a mind meld with Lieutenant Tuvok to try to determine the source of an apparent repressed memory. In the meld, she was sent to the bridge of the USS Excelsior in 2293 in Tuvok's memory. A disruption of the meld caused the Captain Hikaru Sulu of the memory to notice her presence and he declared an intruder alert, but she and Tuvok solved the problem by returning to an earlier stage of the memory, in which she was able to steal an appropriate Starfleet uniform to blend in. (VOY: "Flashback")

That same year, Janeway called security for an intruder alert when she discovered Q within her quarters. She received no response and Q commented that there was "no need to call for room service" as he had already ordered, indicating champagne. Janeway repeated her order for an intruder alert but again got no response and Q commented that he had "taken the proverbial phone off the hook." (VOY: "The Q and the Grey")

Also that same year, when the holographic character Marayna appeared in Tuvok's quarters despite having apparently been deleted, Tuvok called for an intruder alert, but she used her control of the Voyager computer system to silence it. (VOY: "Alter Ego")

Additionally, when The Doctor realized that macroviruses had infested Voyager's mess hall, he declared an intruder alert on Deck 2, Section 13. (VOY: "Macrocosm")

In Lieutenant Tuvok's Insurrection Alpha holoprogram, the Voyager computer declared an intruder alert on deck 8 when the Lieutenant Tom Paris and Captain Kathryn Janeway of the program transported there. (VOY: "Worst Case Scenario")

In an alternate 2374, Neelix helped repair the internal sensors aboard the USS Voyager after they had been seriously damaged due to repeated Krenim attack. He wanted to try several variations on the audio warning for Intruder Alert sound, but security chief Tuvok ordered him to keep the standard Intruder alert sound. (VOY: "Year of Hell")

In 2374, the crew of Voyager initiated an intruder alert when they discovered that a member of Species 8472 had penetrated their hull and invaded the ship. (VOY: "Prey")

That same year, Kellin, a Ramuran tracer, managed two days aboard Voyager searching for a runaway before triggering an intruder alert and losing her cloak. About a month later, Kellin having returned to Voyager, Chakotay called an intruder alert when a Ramuran tracer was discovered in his quarters. (VOY: "Unforgettable")

In 2375, when the Borg Queen appeared to Seven of Nine while she was regenerating, Seven attempted to contact security for an intruder alert.

In 2376, Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres jokingly declared "intruder alert" when her old boyfriend Lieutenant Maxwell Burke accessed a command station in engineering without her prior authorization. (VOY: "Equinox")

Also that year in an alternate timeline, Captain Janeway declared an intruder alert on Voyager as a troubled Kes approached engineering. (VOY: "Fury")

According to the shooting script for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, an intruder alert was declared by the computer when the probe first entered the Enterprise; however, the lines were trimmed from the theatrical cut of the film.
