Water Rescue
Officers responded to Kelly Lake ย after receiving report of a child swimming alone in the water.
When they couldnโt coax him to shore, #StPetePD Officer Jake Yancey entered the water with a floatation device and rescued him.
Glad everyoneโs Ok!

Just because you donโt see us doesnโt mean we donโt see you ๐
One driver learned that after going 115 MPH in a 55 MPH zone before being stopped by our officers.
Speeding puts everyone at risk. Floridaโs Super Speeder law carries serious penalties.

St. Pete Police retweeted
In case you forgot, there are "traffic control" signs out on the water indicating wake zones. These signs are in place to protect the environment and wildlife as well as infrastructure.
Here we show you what low speed minimum wake and idle speed should look like on your vessel.
