While the Senate Guards were sworn to protect the Galactic Senate, senators who required daily protection usually received it from personal bodyguards or through the security forces of their homeworld. There, the Senate Guard shared jurisdiction with the police officers of the Coruscant Security Force.
The Senate Guards were mostly seen keeping watch over the Senate District on the Republic capital planet of Coruscant where the Senate Building, containing the Galactic Senate Chamber, and the Senate Office Building were located at. The Senate Guard, also referred to informally as the, Blue Guard, the Republic guard, the Defenders of Democracy or the " Boys in Blue," was an elite security force charged with the protection of the Galactic Senate and as bodyguards for the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. With their ornate helms, blue robes and "Paladin" rifles, Senate Guards were the protectors of the Galactic Senate. Eventually, as Galactic Emperor, Palpatine disbanded the Senate Guard altogether and replaced them with his Royal Guard and the stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire. He additionally began to phase out the Senate Guard with the clone shock troopers of the Coruscant Guard. In the waning days of the Republic, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine formed a personal security detail of red-robed guards whom he favored over the Senate Guard. The Senate Guards were a frequent sight in the halls of the Senate Building and the Senate Office Building, their ceremonial uniforms and robes helping to blend in with the formal settings. The best of the Senate Guards would be invited to become a part of the elite Senate Commandos division who would carry out secret government missions.

The Senate Guard was centered on the galactic capital planet of Coruscant and as it was also responsible for protecting the Senate District, it shared policing jurisdiction with the Coruscant Security Force. Its duties were to protect the Republic's Galactic Senate and the Supreme Chancellor. The Senate Guard, also referred to as the Blue Guard, the Republic guard, the Defenders of Democracy, and colloquially referred to as Boys in Blue," was an elite security force of the Galactic Republic.
