quick question

[LJB]

I was at a friends house last night and his son who lived in FLA for a few months mentioned something I told him I never heard of it.He said he saw signs down there stating "wolf pack in the area "
He said they had something to do with state troopers being in the area can anyone advise,I'm not looking for any trouble just wondering about it.
STAY SAFE OUT THERE.

Troopers no, HCSO DUI squad, YES

I have always heard the term "wolf pack" used to refer to troopers parking 6,7,8 deep on the shoulder of an interstate. The last one runs radar while the first one in line pulls them over and writes a ticket then returns to last in line, Seen this last week on 528 between the 20-30 mile marker eastbound

The term "wolf pack" was used during WW II to refer to groups of German submarines which would assemble in a merchant ship shipping lane in the Atlantic Ocean between the USA and England for the purpose of sinking Allied cargo ships.

The technique was adopted after the Allies began grouping their ships in convoys and escorting them with destroyer war ships. A single U-boat could not effectively counter this defense so they began traveling in "packs." They referred to them as "wolf packs" due to their method of attack being similar to a real wolf pack attacking a physically superior prey - coming from a number of different angles. The Germans also liked the wolf image; one of Hitler's hideaways was called the "Wolf's Den."

The terminology has been carried over to a variety of police operations, but most notably the practice of assembling a number of marked cars in one spot for the purpose of intensive traffic law enforcement. In Florida it is periodically used not only by FHP, but also by various local police agencies.

It can be quite effective!
