WHAT WE DO - 4 CORE MISSION AREAS

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS (CRIN)

SFSECIS is, essentially, the Star Fleet law enforcement unit that investigates felony-level offenses. Typically, Agents will investigate allegations from or against members of Star Fleet, SF Marines, and civilians assigned to either service or those who were victims of such crimes within the investigative scope of the SFSECIS.

SERIOUS CRIMES THE SFSEICS MAY INVESTIGATE

NOTE: This list is not exhaustive. SFSECIS Divisional Assistant Deputy Directors will review the merits of every case and may determine to proceed or decline to investigate at their discretion.

MANDATORY REFERRAL TO SFSECIS: Pursuant to SECSFINST 5430.107A, certain incidents must be referred to SFSECIS, whether occurring on or off-base, and regardless of civilian investigation involvement. These incidents include:

[1] (AGGRAVATED) ASSAULT AND/OR BATTERY: Violence in any form, either perceived and/or actualized, against or initiated by any Star Fleet service component member. Hate crimes and/or those involving a weapon(s) are viewed by SFSECIS and SFJAG as exceptionally heinous under the SFUCMJ.

[2] ATTEMPTED/COMPLETED ASSASSINATION: SFSECIS has primary jurisdiction to conduct criminal investigative operations on any suspected, actualized or completed assassination of any Star Fleet service component member or United Federation of Planets representative, either appointed or elected. See PROTECTIVE SERVICE OPERATIONS (PSO) below for greater detail;

[3] AWOL/DEFECTION/DESERTION: The actual, suspected, or attempted defection of Star Fleet service component personnel. SFSECIS will work closely with unit commanders to safely retrieve members deemed Absent Without Leave (AWOL) and/or potentially defecting to another political entity (allied, neutral or otherwise) or those deemed to have deserted their assigned post;

[4] CORRUPTION: Field Agents may, at the direction of the Star Fleet Inspector General (SFIG), investigate allegations of corruption and/or other related crimes of integrity (i.e., blackmail, bribery, conflicts of interest, extortion, etc.) under the SFUCMJ across all Star Fleet service components. These crimes could undermine the chain of command when officers, warrants or NCOs abuse their power for personal or other gain. By proactively investigating and eliminating corruption, SFSECIS safeguards the very foundation of Star Fleet – its unwavering commitment to honor and duty;

[5] COUNTERINTELLIGENCE: Suspicious activities or anomalies, contacts, activities, indicators, and behaviors that might indicate potential FIE involvement or threats against Star Fleet or the UFP, its personnel, information, materiel, facilities, and activities; or against Federation security. See COUNTERINTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS (CIO) below for greater detail;

[6] DEATH(S) (Non-Combat Related): Any non-combat death on or off of Star Fleet installations, facilities, vessels, bases, outposts or starbases, when the cause of death cannot be medically attributable to disease or natural causes, or until criminal causality can be reasonably excluded. For non-combat deaths that occur off-base or outside of the primary investigative jurisdiction of the service, SFSECIS will be the Star Fleet lead service for coordination and/or investigative support to the investigative lead service. If a non-Star Fleet service with primary jurisdiction declines to investigate, SFSECIS will assume investigative jurisdiction;

[7] ESPIONAGE: Information which indicates that classified information is being, or may have been, disclosed in an unauthorized manner to a Foreign Intelligence Entity (FIE) or an agent thereof;

[8] FIRES & EXPLOSIONS: Fires or explosions of unknown origin affecting the property of, or under control of any Star Fleet service component. These may be the result of an accident, negligence, malicious arson or natural causes.

[9] GRAND THEFT/LOSS: The theft or loss of Star Fleet weapons, ordnance, controlled technologies or substances. SFSECIS must safeguard the lives of Federation citizens and recover any stolen/missing property that could be used for commercial gain or illicit purposes;

[10] KIDNAPPING: If a Star Fleet service component member or UFP Representative is abducted, SFSECIS Field Agents will collaborate and coordinate efforts with all relevant law enforcement agencies to affect the safe retrieval of the abductee;

[11] MEDICAL-BIOLOGICAL: As law enforcement officials and as agents of a Star Fleet Health Oversight service, SFSECIS Field Agents are authorized to make investigative demands for medical records to unit Chief Medical Officers in accordance with the requirements of applicable Star Fleet regulations. Agents will investigate any use of bioweapons or other attacks of a physiological nature;

[12] SEX CRIMES: Any allegation of sexual misconduct across any multi-species genders will be investigated by one of the dedicated Special Victims Major Case Response Teams (SVMCRT);

[13] TERRORISM: Protecting Star Fleet units from terrorist attacks and sabotage is one of SFSECIS' four core mission priorities and as such has dedicated an entire Directorate for that area of operations. The Service works closely across all Star Fleet service components and related UFP Agencies to neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the Federation, to help dismantle extremist networks across the Federation, and to cut off financing and other forms of support provided to terrorist organizations. See COUNTER TERRORISM OPERATIONS (CT) below for greater detail;

PROTECTIVE SERVICE OPERATIONS (PSO)

PURPOSE:

The protective mission involves identifying threats, mitigating vulnerabilities, and creating secure environments for all assigned principals. Protective Service Operations (PSO) are one of the four (4) core mission areas of the SFSECIS and thus have an entire dedicated Directorate charged with the successful execution of this critical task.

SCOPE:

The Star Fleet Security and Investigative Service is the only entity within the combined service components authorized to conduct protection of Star Fleet/SFMC/UFP High Risk Billets (HRB) and High Risk Personnel (HRP). The mission of the SFSECIS Protective Operations Field Office (POFO) is to prevent terrorist and/or criminal attacks on principals under SFSECIS protection coverage and to execute the necessary and appropriate response to threats and/or attacks on a principal. POFO will also initiate investigations on individuals and groups who meet a specific threshold when a threat is detected and is validated.

Protective Service Operations, also referred to as Force Protection (FP), is a concept of protecting military personnel, family members, civilians, facilities, equipment and operations from threats or hazards in order to preserve operational effectiveness and contribute to mission success. Force protection itself is characterized by changing protective tactics to avoid becoming predictable.

PSO are an integral part of the SFSECIS core missions and provide a vital service to both Star Fleet services and the United Federation of Planets. The term "protective operations" is generally defined to be all security and law enforcement measures taken to identify threats or vulnerabilities to specific individuals and to provide security for those individuals. This ranges from personal security training to the assignment of a Protective Service Detail (PSD).

ELIGIBILITY

SFSECIS provides and manages full-time Protective Service Details (PSD) on key combined service component individuals, including but not limited to:

• UFP Cabinet Secretaries, most often the Secretary of Star Fleet
• Commander-in-Chief, Star Fleet
• Chief of Star Fleet Operations
• Commandant of the Marine Corps
• Flag Officers identified as HRB
• Federation Ambassadors and Ambassadors-at-Large
• Federation Commissioners and Representatives (with approval of the Federation President)
• Any individual deemed at risk via an in-depth threat analysis or with evidence of a direct threat

Jurisdictional conditions are unrestricted for the PSO. Any individual, military, diplomatic, civilian, and being of foreign or domestic origin, regardless of Federation citizenship status, may be eligible for PSO. Requests from any service or entity will be reviewed by DIRSFSECIS on a case-by-case basis.

IDENTIFYING HRBs:

To supplement POFO's operational mission, it maintains an internal Protective Intelligence Unit (PIU) to identify potential threats that could affect a principal, understand a principal's level of vulnerability to any given threat, and use available intelligence to mitigate threats and/or risk to a principal. The Protective Intelligence Unit works extensively with the Star Fleet Security Forces, SFMC Military Police, SFMC Criminal Investigative Division and the Federation Marshals Service.

Our Protective Intelligence experts support protective operations by analyzing information, investigating threats, assessing risk, and disseminating protective intelligence information. Additionally, these professionals conduct research and gather, analyze, and disseminate information pertaining to threat assessment and preventing targeted violence.

SFSECIS will conduct Personal Security Vulnerability Assessments (PVSA) for potential HRBs to determine the level of risk and vulnerability to terrorist or criminal activities, and to determine the appropriate level of protection required. A PSVA will identify specific areas of improvement to withstand, mitigate, or deter acts of violence or terrorism against the principal(s). PSVAs are initiated within 90 days of an official's assignment to a permanent High-Risk Billet (HRB) and will be reviewed annually and updated by threat, vulnerabilities, or terrorism threat level changes.

PROTECTIVE SERVICE DETAILS:

Protective Service Details consist of a minimum of four teams of two (2), each on a rotating six (6) hour duty shift. Depending on multiple risk factors identified in the threat analysis, the detail may be as large as 24 agents. Protective operations may be initiated due to any of the following:

• 1 When recommended by a Personal Security Vulnerability Assessment (PSVA).
• 2 Due to an increase in the general threat within an area or region.
• 3 In response to a specific threat to an individual.
• 4 Following a request for support from a Star Fleet unit, a UFP service or Federation Member/Protectorate.
• 5 In response to special circumstances or events (when approved by DIRSFSECIS).

As a Protection Detail is voluntary, SFSECIS provides the potential protectees with a thorough analysis of the identified threat(s) so they may choose to accept or decline the assignment of the detail.

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS (CIO)

As the Star Fleet lead service for CI, SFSECIS will conduct the full range of CI and counterterrorism activities to identify and neutralize Foreign Intelligence Entities (FIE) targeting and exploitation of Star Fleet personnel, facilities, operations, and other resources pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

SFSECIS has exclusive investigative jurisdiction into actual, potential, or suspected acts of espionage, terrorism, sabotage, and assassination; and actual, suspected, or attempted defection by Star Fleet personnel.

The Director will ensure the SECSF, SF Inspector General (SFINSGEN), Deputy Inspector General for SF Marine Corps (DNIGSFMC), and members of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), are kept fully and currently informed of significant and/or sensitive Star Fleet CI activities, questionable intelligence activities, and related activities pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

Any request by a non-Star Fleet organization to conduct or support a CI investigation or operation, or for operational use of Star Fleet personnel, facilities or resources under SECSF authority, will be coordinated with SFSECIS prior to approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

SFSECIS will ensure Star Fleet and SFMC unit commanders are apprised of SFSECIS CI activities affecting their respective commands pursuant to applicable regulations, unless specific confidentiality-driven circumstances dictate otherwise.

SFSECIS will provide CI support to Star Fleet/SFMC commands, commanders, installations, facilities, personnel, operations, and activities pursuant to applicable regulations.

SFSECIS will maintain, direct, and operate a 24 hour-aday, 7 day-a-week Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC) to continually monitor national, service, theater, and other intelligence and law enforcement information to identify threats to Star Fleet assets, operations, and activities.

Use of Star Fleet/SFMC military personnel for CI operational purposes will be coordinated and approved by the Commanding Officer having command and control of the unit(s) being detailed.

COUNTER TERRORISM OPERATIONS (CTO)

Protecting the Star Fleet component forces from violent extremist organizations and individuals is one of SFSECIS’ highest priorities. As the primary law enforcement and counterintelligence component for Star Fleet, SFSECIS is focused on countering threats to the physical security of officers, warrants and enlisted personnel along with Marines, and Star Fleet civilian personnel and on preventing terrorist attacks against installations, ships, training facilities and expeditionary forces.

SFSECIS is responsible for detecting, deterring, and disrupting terrorism Federation-wide through a wide array of investigative and operational capabilities. Within the Star Fleet component services, SFSECIS has exclusive investigative jurisdiction into the actual, potential or suspected acts of terrorism. SFSECIS accomplishes this through key partnerships resulting in enhanced information-sharing of threats to OSFI for forces and assets.

OSFI’s offensive operations aim at identifying and interdicting terrorist activities, while in defensive operations, SFSECIS supports Star Fleet component service leaders with protective intelligence & resources, and performs physical security assessments of military installations and related facilities—to which Star Fleet/SFMC expeditionary forces deploy.
