Ensure the saftey of all personnel on a ship or station

All people, (civilians, Star Fleet members, Tachyon Fleet members, Ambassadors and visitors) have the right to feel safe while on the station. To ensure this Security Officers must provide enough freedom to allow privacy, but must be able to apprehend anyone who commits a crime - or is suspected of commiting a crime. This "saftey" extends to the personal belongings of an person - so long as it is not illegal in the Tachyon Fleet. Security does have the right to search the quarters, belongings and/or person of anyone suspected of wrongdoing - provided they have authorization from either the Station CO, XO or ranking JAG officer.
 

Investigate all crimes

When a crime happens, security members must immediately close off the crime scene and inform OPS. The COS is immediately called to duty regardless of shift, as well as any needed specialists. The crime scene should be blocked off until proper investigation of the scene can take place to prevent contamination of the evidence. Marine squads can be called in to provide assistance in sealing the area if needed (for example - on the Promenade). Security personnel must collect all evidence available, preserve it if possible, and document it immediately to prevent contamination. The evidence must then kept secure until Science or Medical teams can examine the samples (if needed) to provide forensic evidence to prove a suspect's guilt / innocence.
 

Question suspects and witnesses

All persons are innocent until proven guilty!
All potential witnesses or suspects are entitled to council during questioning.
If it is deemed necessary, then interrogation of any suspects or eyewitnesses is allowed, but no Security Officer or other officer participating in the interrogation shall badger, entrap or use any other procedure unlawful according to the Articles of the Federation, to get a confession.
 

Take any suspects into custody after reading
them their rights,and inform the CO of such action

If a suspect is to be arrested or held for longer than a few hours, the COS (or Deputy in his absence) must inform the CO (or XO in his absence) of such action. The suspect must be given just cause for his/her arrest, and read their rights under Tachyon Fleet law. If proof of the suspects guilt is not found within 48 hours of the arrest, the suspect must be released, but Security can prevent suspects from leaving the station until innocence is proved.
All suspects in a murder, rape or treason shall be held in the brig with no exceptions. All others may be left in confinement to quarters (determined by the COS). All Starfleet personnel are entitled to a fair and impartial hearing by way of a court martial pending the outcome of the investigation.
 

Man Security offices, brig and holding cells

All security offices, which include the Brig, all holding cells, and OPS are to be manned at all times. High Security areas must have an armed guard, in addition to regular built in security features as needed.

Environmental Suits

Starfleet Environmental Suits (also known as "EVA Suits") are protective garments worn by personnel when exploring inhospitable environments. While the suit is rather comfortable and light, it can still hinder the movements of untrained personnel.

The suits protect the wearer from pressure extremes varying from a vacuum to five atmospheres worth, and temperature extremes ranging from -100 degrees Celcius to +120 degrees Celcius. It is worth noting, however, they are not heavily armored and can easily be punctured by most melee weapons and energy weapons. The suits are self-sealing for small breaches, but larger perforations must be manually patched by the wearer. Each suit typically comes with a minimum of six easily accessible patches.

The suit itself consists of a full-body jumpsuit with removable gloves and an accompanying transparent helmet. Gravity boots, which allow the user to walk on solid surfaces, and even climb steep inclines, in zero gravity are also usually standard issue with the suit.

A small belt-pack houses the environmental suit's life support system. Utilizing microreplicator technology, the suit's life support system can purify air and recycle drinking water for a period of up to 25 hours.

Control of the gravitic boots, built-in communicator, and visor and helmet mounted lights are activated on a control pad located on the wrist of the suit.

One disadvantage to the suit is the easily detectable energy signatures generated by the unit. This makes it almost impossible to hide from sensors while wearing the environmental suit. The entire ensemble weights a total of 8 kg.

A portable thruster unit is also available to allow rapid transportation across longer distances. The thruster unit is controlled by two arms with handgrips which allow the user to select direction and speed.
