I wanted to say thank you for the time, effort, and passion you put into teaching our class (Baytown PD). I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. You made the material engaging and enjoyable to learn, and I truly appreciate that.
All the classes instructed by Mike was great. I learned and the environment of the class was inviting. The materials shown in class were excellent and very useful. He really knows how to give his knowledge onto others.
Loved that his class was not death by PowerPoint. Kept the class engaged. Great instructor.
Very knowledgeable on the instructed topic and engaging.
Great webinar and Mike was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Always love the content put out!!
Awesome teacher webinar taught very well
Great class easy to understand
Very informational and knowledgeable.
We had the incredible opportunity to host B2G Advance Search and Seizure/Adv. Traffic Stops. I was thoroughly impressed with Mike's dedication for instructing such a critical topic. Mike is personable, down-to-earth, and incredibly passionate about search and seizure. His ability to quickly capture and maintain the attention of EVERYONE in the room speaks volumes about his talent as an instructor. His dedication is inspiring, and it is clear that he has a genuine desire to share this knowledge with all law enforcement officers. Thank you, B2G for offering such impactful courses, and we will hope to have Mike back soon!
Mike Boone has been the best instructor I've ever had. Boone was able to keep the class engaged and cover the material so everyone fully understood it. Boone even went above and beyond and took the time to come to a briefing for the night crew. I cannot recommend blue to gold and more specifically, Boone as an instructor, enough.
Very engaging and made the content easy to comprehend. Amazing instruction and very fun class
Very useful and information rich. I wish the academy taught this way.
One of the best teachers. Was able to explain the law in ways which was easy for a simple cops brain to understand. Definitely a training and instructor worth going to.
Michael is an excellent instructor, he is super knowledgeable! Great class!
Awesome job, full of information and awesome in answering questions!
Great class! Mike kept everyone engaged in the topic. Mike answered all questions and broke down every single answer in the sinplest way possible. Would definitely recommened 10/10.
I have taken many training classes over the course of my career including a previous Search & Seizure class from a separate instructor and company. Mike made it super easy to understand and definitely feel a lot more confident doing my job when it comes to the Fourth Amendment. The class was anything but boring and would definitely recommend anyone to take the class regardless of how much time on you have. One of the better classes I have taken, Mike did a phenomenal job. 5 Stars all around.
Attended Mike Boone's Search & Seizure course. He taught at a great pace and conveyed the contents very clearly.
Michael Boone's search & seizure class was great. He kept the class engaged and asked intuitive, thought provoking questions. This allowed for an enjoyable experience instead of having an instructor conduct a "death by power point" presentation. Due to the nature of the content being so gray with case laws consistently going back and forth as it relates to 4th Amendment laws, Boone was more than eager to be open to possibilities of a search/seizure example going either way in various scenarios so long as it was reasonably articulated. This type of characteristic and demeanor from a difficult topic is amazing and should be celebrated. Thank Boone!
Great instructor and interactive.

Great class offering a wealth of information. Truly should be mandatory training for every agency. It takes complicated issues and makes them easy to understand.
Advanced Search and Seizure and Advanced Criminal Investigations should be taught to new officers throughout the country. Knowing your legal authority saves lives including your own. Great courses! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in law enforcement
I thought this was great info, well organized, and used real life examples we will see in the field. Thank you!
As always, Anthony provided excellent, useful information. I highly recommend this course.
Great course. This was very informative.
I've been in law enforcement for 9 years now, spending the last few as an investigator. What these Blue to Gold courses are teaching me is that LEOs should be getting far more training on the law and how it can work in their favor. It's taken me this long to learn how to properly apply Miranda yet ensure that application does not destroy my investigation. Same goes for search and seizure. LEOs should be just as up to speed on case law as our DAs. This was a great course!
Very useful info. I love that you have an explanation of the video or summary below. Helps get. A better understanding of information.
Amazing course. The instructor provides many details over subjects that are routine in everyday law enforcement and should be considered "Basic knowledge." but explains each topic in ways that help officers actually understand the legal reasons why they can/can't do something.
This course really enlightened me and I learned a lot of small tidbits that will help me out on the streets.
Good Class
Very thorough and a great course both for review for senior officers and getting the basics for those just starting out.
Awesome class. Well prepared now to build good cases for prosecution.
As a newer officer, this lesson answered many questions for me. Some of the information given (with case law to support) even corrects what some of my senior officers have told me is illegal (not against policy, but illegal). I would HIGHLY recommend this class to any offclicer - new, through Admin.
This training opened my eye and was awesome!
This 8-hour class is amazing. It is broken down into different lessons and each lesson was very informative and included case law, video break-downs/discussions and real-life scenarios. This class also has assessments after the lessons to keep the learner engaged in the class. This class is very informative and all encompassing on topics like, single purpose container doctrine, collective knowledge doctrine, how to improve your undercover investigations, use of CI's, and much more!
Excellent coverage of subject matters especially breaking down into easily understandable terminology and concepts. Will for sure be doing more on demand courses in the future.
Had a ton of insightful and though provoking material. A must take course
I just completed a two-day training in Advanced Search and Seizure and Advanced Criminal Investigations in Jackson, WY. This was by far the most entertaining and knowledgeable training I have attended in my short three years of Law Enforcement. Anthony Bandiero is very intelligent and I hope more law enforcement agencies seek him out to expand their knowledge.
Advanced Criminal Investigation This course breaks down components and legal concerns through advanced criminal investigations I'm a way that gets the student to actively think their way through the process and problem-solve.
Advanced Criminal Investigations Great class. It’s both an excellent review and has contemporary topics. They keep things simple and easy to remember
Great class on criminal investigations. The instructor has an incredible grasp of the 4th amendment and its application. Moreover, the continued of state-specific cases is extremely helpful!
Advanced criminal investigation class, great class learned lots of new information
Class Advanced Criminal invest stow 4/10/24 great information about different situations I have found myself in and have heard about in my first year on the road.

Don't let a lack of understanding hold you back from achieving justice. Join our Interview and Interrogation training course and gain the knowledge and skills you need to confidently and legally obtain confessions in your cases.
Great course exploring challenges experienced by LE in UOF. Backed with science and case law review and exploration of prolific misunderstandings of certain aspects.
This class is very intuitive and useful. This class will save officers and agencies from law suits and liability.
This class was fantastic. I have went through a few use of force classes so far and this one has been the best by far. John is a great instructor with a great way of making the class intriguing instead of dry.
Very valuable and enlightening class! I would Highly recommend
I took the 4-day session including Search & Seizure, Traffic Stops/Searches, Search Warrants, and Interviews & Interrogations, and I honestly was not prepared for how much I had to learn. Being in law enforcement for 10 years and still having so many questions makes me wish I had access to or knew about this training earlier on, however I am grateful that I had the chance to take these courses! The topics are clear and relevant, the instructor (John) was relatable, funny, and extremely knowledgeable, and he was able to answer any outstanding questions I had. I am much more confident in these areas and have a greater understanding of the legal responsibilities I have in this profession and am very grateful that this training is available! VERY highly recommended!
