[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] I tend to agree. The way I see it, in peace time the local police come under the direct command of the planetary government. Think of it as sort of like the feudal system, where a lord has his vassals and on a normal day they would be just normal folk, but when the king call for war, he has to supply his share of the army. Before you read too much into that, what I mean is that since I don't like the idea of the Federation having a standing army, when it has need of one it must draw it's ranks from somewhere and that somewhere is most likely to be the most qualified, experianced and of course disciplined people in the Galaxy, other than Starfleet. Hence local Police. Of course the word police it's in itself totally accurate, since in our frame of reference, the closest thing we know to a global police force (political satire aside) are those chaps with the blue helmets. Which is actually not a bad comparison, when you think about it. The UN troops are made up of elements of many smaller armies under different goverments and are only ever deployed under certain circumstances and are NEVER used against their own people, except in defense and when the war is over, they cease being UN troops and go back to wherever they came from. So getting back to the Federation, while I don't think Starfleet would have direct control over internal security of individual planets, when the time comes to mobalise and equip an Army, Starfleet are the ones to do it (who else has the technology and infastructure?) and only then do they take command of the personel.
