The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is prepared for the 84th annual Daytona Beach Bike Week, and Sheriff Rick Staly urges residents to be prepared as well.
Bike Week 2025, which runs from Feb. 28 to March 9, is expected to bring over 300,000 visitors to the area. As Flagler County roads become congested with motorcyclists, FCSO will be out in full force countywide to keep our roadways safe, manage traffic, and deter aggressive drivers or criminal activity. Additionally, several DUI and reckless driving operations will be conducted throughout the week.
Last year, during Bike Week 2024, the FCSO Communications Center fielded 1,439 emergency calls and 5,997 non-emergency calls. FCSO deputies handled 3,214 calls for service, conducted 717 traffic stops, responded to 93 crashes, and made 85 arrests.
Sheriff Staly reminds both residents and visitors to practice safe driving and common sense, no matter whether they are driving a car or a motorcycle.
“Bike Week is an extremely busy time and brings with it many unique challenges,” Staly said. “We want to make sure that everyone who is taking part in the event can do so safely, while also keeping our residents who are not bikers safe as well. Our deputies, including our Motors Unit, will be actively patrolling throughout the week to deter any reckless or criminal activity. But it’s important that everyone does their part. Never drink and drive, stay vigilant, look twice to save a life, and drive free from distractions. And remember, if you ‘see something, say something’ by reporting suspicious activity.”
Residents and visitors are encouraged to report suspicious activity to the FCSO Communications Center by calling 386-313-4911. In the event of an emergency, call 911.
