Dozens Of Violations, Arrests And Citations In Joint Traffic Operation
April 24, 2025
Last Friday, the Florida Highway Patrol, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, and Pensacola Police Department conducted a joint DUI and traffic safety operation in Escambia County.
During the enforcement effort, there were 69 overall violations, 10 DUI arrests, two drug arrests, 31 speed citations and six misdemeanor criminal traffic-related offenses.
This enforcement detail was strategically planned to target high-risk behaviors on area roadways, including impaired driving, aggressive speeding, and other criminal traffic offenses. Officers from all three agencies conducted saturation patrols and mobile enforcement zones at known trouble spots, maximizing visibility and deterrence,” FHP Captain Jason King King said. “This multi-agency effort demonstrates the exceptional synergy achieved when law enforcement partners combine resources and expertise. By working together with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Pensacola Police Department, we’ve taken dangerous drivers off our roads and sent a clear message that impaired and reckless driving will not be tolerated.”

Look what happens when law enforcement as actually does something to protect the innocent drivers from the wreck less ones. We need more of this and just maybe we can prevent traffic fatalities.
Go get them and triple the fines. It is a jungle out yonder on them roads.
10 dui’s……. Wow, maybe this should be done 2 or 3 times a week
Thank you to all those hardworking first responders. We tend to take them for granted and even dislike their methods, but they are trying to keep us safe on the roads. And as someone who travels each day, they have their work cut out for them. Crazy speeders, texting and just otherwise not caring how they drive.
Many thanks to law enforcement for this. Speeding, red light running and reckless driving is out of control on local roads.
