DUI Wolf Pack in Pinellas County

Each year, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office conducts several “Wolf Pack” operations throughout Pinellas County, FL. During these operations, officers hunt in packs for drunk and impaired drivers. 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 PCSO officers involved in the Wolf Pack Operation include members of the Patrol Operations Bureau in the DUI Unit and the Traffic Enforcement Unit. Other local law enforcement agencies in Pinellas County who participated in the Wolf Pack Operation included:

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

Officers that participate in the Wolf Pack Operation by monitoring traffic and maintaining a proactive profile on the highly-traveled roadways. In many of the Wolf Pack operations, G4S Secure Solutions Prisoner Transportation will participate in the operation by transporting inmates to the jail after an arrest.
