Operation ShortStop was a 20-day targeted effort to prevent crime and enhance community safety in the unincorporated areas of central Sarasota County. Based on the agency’s Intelligence to Action philosophy of intelligence-led policing, the operation was developed to address criminal activity and the perception of an environment conducive to criminal behavior within the general borders of Honore east to Beneva Road and between Webber and Proctor roads in Sarasota.
