The event, dubbed “DUI Wolf Pack,” involved officers from nine agencies: the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Highway Patrol and police departments in Indian Shores, Kenneth City, Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tarpon Springs.

The operation was designed to “reduce deaths, injuries and property damage associated with traffic crashes related to impaired driving,” the sheriff’s office said.
