My agency requires 1,400 hours of academy training, but zero hours were given to LEOSA. One of the first things new cops do upon finishing such a long academy is take a vacation. I went to visit my hometown and did not know about LEOSA. I been 7 years in my agency now and I can finally say I understand LEOSA and not just from coworkers or google search. Thank you!

Great info that was concise and easy to follow. Thank you for putting this together.

“Outstanding Training for New Officers – A Must-Have Course! Anthony Bandiero’s Basic Search & Seizure for Police Academies is hands down the best foundational course I’ve come across for law enforcement professionals. As someone who has seen many training programs, this course stands out for its clarity, practical application, and engaging delivery. Bandiero’s teaching style makes complex legal principles easy to understand, even for recruits with no prior experience. He takes the guesswork out of topics like probable cause, reasonable suspicion, and the dos and don’ts of lawful searches. The course is packed with real-world examples and up-to-date case law, ensuring every officer is prepared to apply these principles confidently and correctly in the field. The video format is professional and highly engaging, with clear visuals and explanations that keep you interested from start to finish. This course should be mandatory for every police academy—it lays a rock-solid foundation for ethical, effective policing and helps new officers avoid costly mistakes. I highly recommend Basic Search & Seizure for Police Academies to academies, trainers, and anyone starting their law enforcement career. Another excellent resource from Anthony Bandiero and Blue to Gold University!”

Good course for squad briefings. These mini courses are nice broken up and you can easily cover one or a few per shift briefing to reinforce the basics. There’s even some surprising things that you may not know.
