The goal of a Wolf Pack is to educate drivers and create public awareness about the dangers of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and any chemical or controlled substances.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.), Remove Intoxicated Drivers USA Inc. (RID), and the Suncoast Safety Council supported law enforcement during the operation.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will be conducting Wolf Packs and DUI checkpoints continuously throughout the year.
