Revision as of 21:26, 1 December 2015

Starfleet Security was an agency in Starfleet. This agency was one of the oldest with its origins dating back to Earth Starfleet. The agency was located at Fleet Operations Center in San Francisco, Earth, Sol Sector. The agency was responsible for safeguarding the Federation from internal and external threats, for conducting criminal investigations, and for guarding Federation facilities.

Harris was a member of Starfleet Security until 2149, at which point he became a member of the covert operations group known as Section 31. (ENT: "Divergence")

In 2154, Commander Collins was an officer in Starfleet Security. When Doctor Phlox was abducted in San Francisco as part of a Klingon plot, she was in charge of the investigation. (ENT: "Affliction")

Their assignment patch clearly states "Security Division, Sol Sector", indicating that they have jurisdiction over the entire Solar System. The mission patch was designed by Scenic Art Supervisor Michael Okuda. (Star Trek: Costumes: Five Decades of Fashion from the Final Frontier, p. 217)

That same year, the dedication plaque of the Columbia NX-02 listed the names of notable officers assigned to this agency who protected the shipyard where the starship was constructed and tested. (ENT: "Affliction", Columbia dedication plaque)

In January of 2155, the directory placards at Starfleet Command's Fleet Operations Center, Sol Sector listed the names of notable officers who had offices at the center. (ENT: "Demons", directories)

Starfleet security team, 2364 — A team of shipboard security officers

In the 2350s, a secret group at Starfleet Security engaged in an illegal operation to develop a Starfleet phasing cloaking device, in direct violation of the Treaty of Algeron. The phasing cloak was tested aboard the USS Pegasus in 2358, under the command of Captain Erik Pressman, but ended in disaster when it appeared the Pegasus was destroyed. The entire affair was subsequently covered up by Starfleet Intelligence. Twelve years later, the Chief of Starfleet Security at the time, Admiral Raner, oversaw an operation to retrieve the experimental cloaking device. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages..."; TNG: "The Pegasus")

In 2367, Vice Admiral Thomas Henry, who was attached to Starfleet Security, boarded the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D to observe a hearing overseen by former Starfleet admiral Norah Satie, concerning an attempt to uncover a supposed conspiracy at the heart of Starfleet. (TNG: "The Drumhead")

In 2371, due to skepticism related to Constable Odo's abilities as security chief, Starfleet Security assigned Lieutenant Commander Michael Eddington to Deep Space 9, to oversee security issues pertaining to Starfleet matters. (DS9: "The Search, Part I")

Starfleet Security often sent Odo criminal activity reports. (DS9: "Heart of Stone")

A Starfleet Security investigation determined that Ambassador Krajensky had been kidnapped or killed by the Dominion on his way to Risa. (DS9: "The Adversary")

Sisko, head of security — Benjamin Sisko, acting head of Starfleet Security in 2372

In 2372, Admiral Leyton made Benjamin Sisko acting head of Starfleet Security, in face of the apparent Changeling infiltration of Starfleet. In this capacity, Sisko discovered that Leyton was using the recent bombing of the Antwerp Conference as an excuse to attempt to seize power by the military, by instilling paranoia about the threat posed by the Dominion. Sisko subsequently uncovered Leyton's conspiracy, forcing him to resign, and returned to Deep Space Nine. (DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")

After Sisko was attacked by a member of the Cult of the Pah-wraiths in early 2375, he gave a statement to Starfleet Security. (DS9: "Image in the Sand")
