The security station was a section on Federation starships for officers to review security and tactical data, and coordinate the security matters for the vessel.
Aboard Galaxy-class starships, like the USS Enterprise-D, the security station was located on deck 9. When the Enterprise-D received a message from the security officer of the Klingon ship IKS Bortas, Captain Jean-Luc Picard ordered Lieutenant Worf to handle the call at the security station. (TNG: "The Defector")
This might in fact be the same as the tactical laboratory seen in "The Mind's Eye".
Aboard Intrepid-class starships, like the USS Voyager, the security station was found on the bridge and was integrated with the tactical station. (Star Trek: Voyager)
