Advanced Search & Seizure


Our Advanced Search and Seizure training is designed to equip officers with the knowledge and skills they need to independently analyze and solve Fourth Amendment problems, leading to a reduction in lawsuits and the ability to establish good case law. By the end of this course, students will have a solid understanding of when the Fourth Amendment applies, the requirement of consent, recognized exceptions, and the necessity of a warrant for every search or seizure. (Book included with each registration: Search & Seizure Survival Guide)

Mark Baca

Outstanding course. I always learn something every time I tune into Anthony's free webinars or courses. I also took the Advanced Search & Seizure Traffic Stops course live on-line and thought that was great also.

5

Humberto Martinez

i learned a lot. Its about the minor details, especially when it comes to our line of work

5

Lori Every

I was disappointed when the course ended, and surprised how quickly it seemed to move. Every module contained information that improved my knowledge of search and seizure, and I will watch it again. Great instructor

5

Todd Colichia

One of the best instructors I've had in my 12 years of being a LEO!

5

Kenneth Bishop

This training was great. It was presented in a way that makes the information extremely understandable. It also made me rethink the way some things are and have been done at my agency in the past. I'm looking forward to taking this information back to my patrol shift to better prepare them to do their jobs in the future.

5

Bobby Wilson

R Nikephoros

As a new officer, this course was exactly what I needed (and exactly what my FTO who recommended Blue to Gold described). It helped me put all the pieces I was trained in together and then tested my knowledge against real-world scenarios. Overall, excellent training and very helpful. I am definitely more confident in my work.

5

Jacob Burns

This course has provided many new insights I can add to the toolbelt when conducting a s/s investigation.

5

Dan Hopkins

Very informative class. I enjoyed the laid back feeling from the instructor.

Tony Verchio

Thank you for sending this so I could have a very solid review of material that was missed due to the technical difficulties from the Denton, TX Zoom course.

5

Jason Beal

Excellent course. I found it very valuable that you gave examples of both legal and illegal scenarios.

5

Nathan Deherrera

I believe this class is crucial to both the new and veteran officer. The information is provided in an easy to understand method with references you can apply to your duties immediately. I highly recommend this training.

5

Travis Thompson

I loved the way the material was presented in a way that was easy of the "lay-cop" to understand. It was also presented in a way that was easy to remember and apply on scene, in the moment. I consider myself fairly squared away on search and seizure and still considered this class very worth while. So, thank you.

5

Paul Irwin

Great class and very useful. I have taught search and seizure and I enjoyed this class and your books. You are an asset to our profession.

5
Tavita Messenger

The way the class is laid out and all of the "tests" and points for each principle made everything very intuitive. I appreciated all of the examples and specific ways to apply the instruction for officers.

Spectacular class! Great case law, easy to understand, and I enjoyed the best practices added in.

This course gives the learner a new look on curtilage, consent, warrantless home entries and much more. All around a great and informative course of the Fourth Amendment and how to effectively use the Fourth Amendment in our favor through articulation.

5

Craig Meyer

This was one of the best courses I have ever taken. It should be a must for every cop out there. Anthony made it extremely easy to comprehend the things he was teaching. He took a topic that is usually very dry when taught and made it engaging and enjoyable.

Blake E Hollins

As a new supervisor, this course help me gain the knowledge I need to lead my officers

Robert Burner

Really good class and easy to understand.

TB

This topic is used so often and often misunderstood. The course does a great job clearing that up to do be a better officer. You will leave full of knowledge.

5

I. F.

TX

How often do you encounter curriculum with dated case law and it's presented as the latest and greatest? Not this course, the references here are absolutely relevant and up to date as of Oct 2023. (course was taken 5/24). The course was well presented and clearly articulated the material in a manner such that I could work patrol tonight and put the lessons learned into practice. I'll approach curtilage with a newfound appreciation and always bring my C.R.E.W. With me.

Matthew Garrow

This was a great course- building upon principles which everyday officers are enacting. The knowledge gained clarifies the ability and understanding of the “why” officers do certain things, and the “how” to properly do them; avoiding liability and penalty.

Stephanie Quinones

Mr. Biggs recently taught the advanced search and seizure class in Gillette, WY and as a whole I think the common opinion of Mr Biggs was "wow, he can teach, and this class is entertaining, informative, and he's a really cool guy." He gave ample examples, was clearly knowledgeable on the subjects and super thorough. He gained everybody's respect in a matter of minutes and I think from here on out we will all think back to this class and what Mr. Biggs taught us throughout our careers. It is rare to find people who are passionate for what they do and that care and especially who can teach the subject well. You have a great instructor and he needed credit where credits was due!

5

A. P.

WVCPD

The presentation was amazing and brought boring case law down to a level that was both fun and educational. To see a Lawyer Skipping around the classroom was top-notch, well done BlueToGold!

5

R. B.

Colorado

This was an excellent class that thoroughly enjoyed. The best part for me was updated case law information, not simply rehashing old examples.

5
Colorado

I attended the 8-hour Advanced Search and Seizure class in person. I have attended a lot of outside training and this class was by far the best class I have ever taken. I learned so much more in this class about search and seizure than I did in the police academy. The instructor was professional, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. I think every patrol officer should take this course.

5

Joshua David

The Advanced Search and Seizure class The course material provided is superior to all others I have partaken in.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced Search and Seizure. It is helpful to hear how the cases specifically on premises were explained in court. This is a subject that is rarely focused on in annual training but would be one of the most helpful in making quick and sound decisions. John’s enthusiasm made this class enjoyable and engaging throughout.

5

J McConnell

Pueblo County Sheriff Office

The class is very informative and something all law enforcement agencies should have. I would prefer the class be expanded to maybe two days so a lot more discussion could happen and more information broke down. Overall would recommend the class to any LE officer.

5
Colorado

Attended the Search and Seizure class in Brighton, CO. This is hands down the best legal training I’ve gotten in 15+ years on Law Enforcement. I feel veteran officers would benefit greatly, as I have, by attending this class.

5

Ryan Thomeczek

Fort Lupton PD
Colorado

Advanced Search and Seizure: the course and instructor were excellent. I’m a self-proclaimed 4th Amendment nerd and place a high value on protecting peoples’ rights. This class gave me a better understanding of some case law I did not have confidence in. In this profession, you need to know the “why” behind your action or inaction and if you are unsure about where your legal authority begins and ends, I recommend this course. Do not trust the old-timers in your agency that have been around for decades. Know current case law and trust yourself and your education. This course is awesome.

5
Colorado

Extremely helpful for a new officer like myself. Provided a lot of clarity for discussions had during the academy.

5

Great class eye-opening with the scenarios and case law presented

5

J. S.

Arizona

The course was great because of all the case law review and application to real world scenarios, including those offered by the class. It’s nice to confirm our authority in some grey areas as well as to see how small difference in details can make otherwise similar situations vastly different when it comes to constitutional violations or not.

5
Gilbert PD

I really appreciate the level of knowledge and passion they share in the Advanced Search and Seizure course. I believe this course gives me the tools and training to be successful in my day to day work that is not available to me at my current agency.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the search and seizure class, and I must say it was an eye-opening experience. As a supervisor, I found this course invaluable in providing new insights on how to ensure our deputies respect and uphold individuals’ civil rights during law enforcement activities. I firmly believe that this class should be a fundamental part of every deputy’s training within the first year of their career. The instructor’s expertise and teaching style were exceptional. Not only was he highly knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he also managed to make the learning process engaging and entertaining. His approach to the topic kept the class both informative and enjoyable.

It was engaging environment to learn. It was great overview of case law, and pertinent Colorado specific case law.

JB

Elko PD

I've always loved Blue to Gold's videos and free classes. I got into them because Bandiero used to work at my agency. I read Nevada Search and Seizure cover to cover a couple times and scored top for detective testing out of around 12 people. Not a lot for most agencies but still significant for us. I attribute that scoring to Blue to Gold's book. I constantly am loaning out my books to people who want to advance themselves and encourage everyone else to get them too. They are a cops biggest tool for in the field and career development. The instructor for this class is super knowledgeable and being that he used to be a cop, makes him relatable to us. Not just some attorney. Online training is tough but he and his team are doing a great job addressing questions from in person and online students.

I just completed the Blue to Gold Traffic Stop and Arrest, Search, and Seizure course at my agency. What an absolutely phenomenonal course. I have learned more in the past two days than I did in my Police Academy. The course content was extremely applicable to our daily tasks on the street. I highly recommend these courses and look forward to taking many more in the near future! Thank you Chris McFarlin!

How often do you encounter curriculum with dated case law and it's presented as the latest and greatest? Not this course, the references here are absolutely relevant and up to date as of Oct 2023. (course was taken 5/24). The course was well presented and clearly articulated the material in a manner such that I could work patrol tonight and put the lessons learned into practice. I'll approach curtilage with a newfound appreciation and always bring my C.R.E.W. With me.

This was a great course- building upon principles which everyday officers are enacting. The knowledge gained clarifies the ability and understanding of the “why” officers do certain things, and the “how” to properly do them; avoiding liability and penalty.

Mr. Biggs recently taught the advanced search and seizure class in Gillette, WY and as a whole I think the common opinion of Mr Biggs was "wow, he can teach, and this class is entertaining, informative, and he's a really cool guy." He gave ample examples, was clearly knowledgeable on the subjects and super thorough. He gained everybody's respect in a matter of minutes and I think from here on out we will all think back to this class and what Mr. Biggs taught us throughout our careers. It is rare to find people who are passionate for what they do and that care and especially who can teach the subject well. You have a great instructor and he needed credit where credits was due!

I attended the 8-hour Advanced Search and Seizure class in person. I have attended a lot of outside training and this class was by far the best class I have ever taken. I learned so much more in this class about search and seizure than I did in the police academy. The instructor was professional, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. I think every patrol officer should take this course.

Attended the Search and Seizure class in Brighton, CO. This is hands down the best legal training I’ve gotten in 15+ years on Law Enforcement. I feel veteran officers would benefit greatly, as I have, by attending this class.

Advanced Search and Seizure: the course and instructor were excellent. I’m a self-proclaimed 4th Amendment nerd and place a high value on protecting peoples’ rights. This class gave me a better understanding of some case law I did not have confidence in. In this profession, you need to know the “why” behind your action or inaction and if you are unsure about where your legal authority begins and ends, I recommend this course. Do not trust the old-timers in your agency that have been around for decades. Know current case law and trust yourself and your education. This course is awesome.

Extremely helpful for a new officer like myself. Provided a lot of clarity for discussions had during the academy.

The course was great because of all the case law review and application to real world scenarios, including those offered by the class. It’s nice to confirm our authority in some grey areas as well as to see how small difference in details can make otherwise similar situations vastly different when it comes to constitutional violations or not.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the search and seizure class, and I must say it was an eye-opening experience. As a supervisor, I found this course invaluable in providing new insights on how to ensure our deputies respect and uphold individuals’ civil rights during law enforcement activities. I firmly believe that this class should be a fundamental part of every deputy’s training within the first year of their career. The instructor’s expertise and teaching style were exceptional. Not only was he highly knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he also managed to make the learning process engaging and entertaining. His approach to the topic kept the class both informative and enjoyable.

I've always loved Blue to Gold's videos and free classes. I got into them because Bandiero used to work at my agency. I read Nevada Search and Seizure cover to cover a couple times and scored top for detective testing out of around 12 people. Not a lot for most agencies but still significant for us. I attribute that scoring to Blue to Gold's book. I constantly am loaning out my books to people who want to advance themselves and encourage everyone else to get them too. They are a cops biggest tool for in the field and career development. The instructor for this class is super knowledgeable and being that he used to be a cop, makes him relatable to us. Not just some attorney. Online training is tough but he and his team are doing a great job addressing questions from in person and online students.
