The Judicial Process relies heavily upon a very intricate level of cooperation and communication between Star Fleet Security, Star Fleet Judge Advocate General's Office (SFJAG) and the Star Fleet Security & Criminal Investigative Service in order to make that complex process a reality. Regulations exist to ensure transparency, cooperation and timely communication among and between the three aforementioned agencies in order to ensure victims are protected and offenders are prosecuted accordingly under the SFUCMJ. | The Judicial Process relies heavily upon a very intricate level of cooperation and communication between Star Fleet Security, Star Fleet Judge Advocate General's Office (SFJAG) and the Star Fleet Security & Criminal Investigative Service in order to make that complex process a reality.

* Often Star Fleet Security units will be the first to report an alleged or actual crime. In addition to normal chain of command reporting duties, the unit's senior Security Officer is required to make the initial assessment as to whether the crime(s) warrant being handled by that unit's Commanding Officer under Article 15/Office Hours/Captain's Mast OR must be referred for investigation and potential court-martial under the SFUCMJ. (See MINOR OFFENSE above). | |||
* If the ranking Security Officer deems the crime(s) that per regulations warrant a potential court-martial, they will immediately notify the appropriate SFJAG and SFSECIS units that have jurisdiction over the Command. | |||
* On very rare occasions, SFSECIS may be made aware of crimes directly reported by victims, civilians or civilian law enforcement agencies. In regards to the latter, the SFSECIS will extend the same multi-departmental courtesies to streamline any investigation process. | |||

Star Fleet Security Officers are usually first on the scene, where they may stop a crime in progress and apprehend offenders or suspects. If the crime was already committed, Star Fleet Security & Investigative Service Agents (SFSECIS) try to piece together exactly what happened. Either way, they follow a process to gather evidence in support of a criminal charge and conviction. | Star Fleet Security Officers are usually first on the scene, where they may stop a crime in progress and apprehend offenders or suspects.
