The Romulan Footsoldiers 'patrol streets, detain suspects on sight, and monitor communications to protect Romulan operations.' and 'draw disruptors on outsiders', indicating they are members of the Romulan Security Forces.
The Romulan Footsoldiers 'patrol the street and café, observing Picard and Data'. I infer from patrolling behavior within the Romulan state that they are members of the Romulan Senate force engaged in security tasks.

Across the Seasons
How this character reads at season scale
Loyal to the Romulan Star Empire’s command structures; their primary function is to enforce isolationist policies through street-level surveillance, detentions, and rapid response to civilian alerts. Adversarial to undercover intruders and dissidents.
Romulan soldiers serve under field captains during away missions to archaeologically significant planetary sites. They carry disruptor rifles into multi-faction standoffs alongside Klingons and Cardassians, positioning for tactical advantage behind natural cover. Alert and obedient, they track multiple threats, raise weapons on command, and execute orders without hesitation. Their actions reflect Romulan military doctrine: rigid hierarchy, combat discipline, and readiness to escalate in pursuit of strategic objectives like ancient DNA samples. These soldiers operate as armed escorts for senior officers, maintaining absolute silence and projecting threat without provocation, functioning as both a visible deterrent and a disciplined security detail under direct Romulan captain command.
