Beginning on Saturday, February 3, 2018 and through September 30, 2018, Pinellas deputies will be conducting “saturation patrols” throughout Pinellas County. During the saturation patrols, deputies will be searching for impaired drivers, speeders, and drivers not utilizing safety belts among other traffic violations.

The saturation patrols will supplement the quarterly multi-jurisdictional DUI Wolf Packs.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office will continue Wolf Packs and DUI enforcement throughout the year.
