  Rank may not be the only necessary qualification for the head of an entire division within Starfleet. Dr. Crusher was the head of Starfleet Medical with the rank of Commander, so they probably also factored in her training and years of experience. This was the only time we’ve seen an admiral wear anything but red(unless you count what McCoy was wearing in *Encounter at Farpoint).*

    Crusher wore blue as an admiral at the end of Picard.

    I believe McCoy was a doctor before joining Starfleet, so years of Starfleet service and years of medical experience may not always line up with everyone We also know reaching the rank of Commander takes a special command level test from the episode where Troi had to take it. Might be a lot later in a doctor's career they want to go that direction In general it's always seemed like Starfleet in general has embraced some amount of flexibility. Maybe Starfleet Medical has the leeway to determine their criteria differently than the other divisions/branches

  We know very little how the Starfleet Admiralty works, and it is often contradicting. While not a perfect analogue to US Armed Forces, it can be informative. Today, the Army police (2025 pedantic) and Army intelligence commands are led by 2-star positions. So could be combined command, add galactic scale, or any other reasons. But back your question - appears reasonable that he is THE chief of security for Starfleet.

  It makes sense that someone with his background would handle security at that level. Starfleet has always been a bit flexible with how ranks map to real-world positions.

  If Toddman isn’t the head of Starfleet Security, he’s at least in charge of Security relevant to DS9 and the Bajoran sector.
