==Earth Starfleet==

The predecesor to the current branch of Starfleet Security were the weapons and security personnel of the ]. At that point in Starfleet history, however, Starfleet had no ground combat force, with such personnel suppied by other agencies (see ]).

==Federation Starfleet==
]
In the ], Starfleet Security had become an established corps of the Starfleet, apparetly an entirely separate career path from regular (or "]") personnel of the Starfleet. During this time, most of Starfleet Security was assigned as security guards onboard Starfleet vessels and space stations. The divisional uniform color of such persnnel was red, leading Starfleet Security personnel to be commonly deemed by the phrase "]s" (this term became obsolete in the 24th century, when Starfleet Security adopted gold as thier divisional color). The task of Starfleet Security was also extremely dangerous, especially when providing security to landing parties on unexplored planets. The ], for instance, racked up a noticable number of security guards killed in the line of duty during the ship's five year mission under ].

In the capacity of security guards, Starfleet Security members act in ways analogous to local and regional police agencies. The agency is also responsible for maintaining and enforcing Starfleet Security regulations, procedures and policies on all Starfleet and affiliated facilities, outposts, and vessels. In addition, this agency is responsible for security clearances of all Starfleet and Federation personnel ('']'').

By the time frame of the ], Starfleet Security was also the primary source of Federation ground troops and the Starfleet Security chain of command included several ] and ] sized formations capable of assaulting a planet ('']'', "]"). Starfleet Security is also one of the few non-command career fields in which it is capable to rise to the rank of full ].

==Starfeet Security and other agencies==

Starfleet Security often works jointly with ] ('']'': "]") and the Federation Marine Corps ('']''). In the 23rd century, the civilian equivalent of Starfleet Security was known as "Federation Security", seen briefly in the film Star Trek III and appearing to be some type of ] equivalent orgaization. Starfleet Security is also responsible for the security of the ], as well as members of the ] and visiting alien dignitaries ('']'').

Starfleet Security has also been influenced by ] over its years of existence. At least one member of the former Earth Starfleet was a member of Section 31 and Section 31 has been suspected of being involved with the ] conspiracy as well as the illegal cloaking device development onboard the USS Pegasus. In 2370, ] Raner served as head of Starfleet Security (''TNG'': "The Pegasus") and was implicated in wrongdoing, possibly connected to Section 31.
