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.
Starfleet Security is also the primary source of Federation ground troops and the Starfleet Security chain of command includes several division and brigade 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 admiral.
Starfleet Security often works jointly with Starfleet Intelligence (TNG: "The Pegasus").
The agency is responsible for the security of the Federation President, as well as members of the Federation Council and visiting alien dignitaries.
In 2370, Admiral Raner served as head of Starfleet Security (TNG: "The Pegasus").
