Here's another perhaps closer to life example. The post-TOS Fed. seems much more like the U.S. then the UN of the TOS era yes? In the U.S., all the states (despite being joined overall under the Federal Government, and therefore having access to the U.S. Military and Federal Marshall's) operate their own state police forces, followed by city, district, and/or regional units. It could be that Starfleet Security has Marshall-type status, and that each member world/colony operates their own local police. OR allows Starfleet Security to do the job. I realize we're talking about ships, but I think my example still works because the local police force would still need to get around in-system and such right?Mikey wrote:I would agree with this, but the limited evidence contradicts it.

Re: Starfleet response time
Kind of what I was thinking. If the Angosians, to use an earlier example, were somehow allowed to become members without having interstellar travel (how that could be allowed, IDK,) then they'd probably be offered the aegis of UFP local protection; while other more advanced members would have the option to police their own systems/colonies.

Those could be civilian ships, maybe part of that coast guard above mentioned and not a military ships.Mikey wrote:I would agree with this, but the limited evidence contradicts it.

I think is something like that. But no SF Security doing that job, that would be like U.S. Army or Navy fighting gangs and burglars.me,myself and I wrote:Here's another perhaps closer to life example.

Local governments would operate their own police forces; working along the coast guard for space ops. Of course you would need a federal police too. For the coast guard could be local or federal, maybe both.
IIRC they wern't members yet but your point remains.Mikey wrote:Kind of what I was thinking.

They looked very much like United Earth in Enterprise.
