Brevard County Sheriff’s I-95 Enforcement Effort Nets 384 Citations, Multiple Arrests in Week 1

This is the only warning your getting

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office released the results of its week one traffic enforcement initiative on Interstate 95, reporting a total of 384 citations issued to drivers who failed to obey traffic laws along the busy corridor.

According to the sheriff’s office, speeding accounted for the majority of violations, with deputies issuing 303 speeding citations during the week. Additional violations included 10 move over citations, four cases of left lane camping, six super speeder violations, and 12 citations for driving while license suspended.

Deputies also cited drivers for seatbelt violations, following too closely, expired tags, lack of proof of insurance, equipment violations, careless driving, and the use of handheld devices. One citation was also issued for speeding in a construction zone.

The enforcement effort also resulted in several arrests, including four related to immigration violations and one for aggravated battery. Officials said these arrests underscore how traffic stops often lead to the discovery of more serious criminal activity.

The initiative, part of the sheriff’s office campaign reminding drivers that this is the only warning they are getting, is focused on reducing dangerous driving behaviors and improving safety on I-95. The sheriff’s office emphasizes that the goal of the operation is to ensure motorists arrive alive while traveling through Brevard County.

Officials reiterated that enforcement efforts will continue and urged drivers to slow down, follow the law, and make responsible decisions behind the wheel to help prevent crashes and save lives.

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, partnering with the Florida Highway Patrol, began a new enforcement campaign aimed at cracking down on speeding along Interstate 95. Officials say drivers should take the message seriously.

The initiative, “This Is the Only Warning You’re Getting,” was announced during a recent news conference by Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey.

Sheriff Ivey said speed-related crashes continue to be one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities on the busy interstate corridor, which runs the length of Brevard County.

The new effort will deploy additional deputies and troopers along high-risk stretches of I-95, focusing on drivers who exceed posted speed limits, weave through traffic, or ignore them.

According to the sheriff, the campaign’s name is intentional. Rather than issue repeated cautions, law enforcement plans to move straight to enforcement when violations are observed.

“Our goal isn’t to write tickets — it’s to save lives,” Ivey said, stressing that the initiative is designed to change dangerous driving habits before they end in tragedy. “If you choose to speed on I-95, expect to see blue lights in your rearview mirror. This truly is the only warning you’re getting.”

Florida Highway Patrol leaders echoed the message, noting that speeding increases both the likelihood and severity of crashes, putting not only drivers but also passengers and first responders at risk. Troopers will coordinate patrols with deputies, including periods of heightened enforcement during peak travel times.

In addition to increased patrol visibility, officials said the public will see targeted messaging reminding motorists to slow down, buckle up, and give other drivers space.

The initiative will remain in place through the coming months, with agencies tracking data to determine its impact on crash numbers and roadway safety. Sheriff Ivey urged drivers to do their part by simply obeying the law.
