These operations are often called “saturation patrols” because numerous officers saturate a particular area pulling over a large number of drivers within a designated area of the county.

  • the Florida Highway Patrol;
  • the St. Petersburg Police Department;
  • the Pinellas Park Police Department;
  • the Largo Police Department; and

Officers that participate in the Wolf Pack Operation by monitoring traffic and maintaining a proactive profile on the highly-traveled roadways.
