This class is a deep dive into street level proactive policing tactics. Considered by many as the all-encompassing guide for patrol officers looking to reach their potential, every single block of instruction covered is essential to being a multi-dimensional proactive officer on patrol. This course provides the tools and the game plan to the attendee, so that they will leave at the end of the day and be an effective police officer against the criminal element, every single shift. The skills and tactics taught here are universal in police work across the world, as the class does not spend time on state-specific traffic code, penal code, or state-specific case law.
I am in Alaska and the area where I work covers 187 highway miles, with 4 communities. I frequently work solo with the nearest unit on duty 150 miles away. With that said the behavior identification is important. Some of the ideas with 2 officer contact I have to modify to be able to safely work the situation. The specific title of the behavior is helpful in articulating the behavior.
Excellent Course. I have attended an inhouse Street Cop Training Course, which contained some similar information. However I found that this particular course was superior in the tone and disbursement of that information. I feel like this course not only refreshed me up on skills sets but also showed even more such as the tactics for foot patrol. As a Lieutenant at my department I know that I will be recommending this course for all of the officers on my shift because if they take it seriously and go out and try to look for the highlighted behaviors they will be able to get results.
Everyone needs this class. I’ve taken other proactive patrol classes and it’s the same thing. Always what to look for but never why criminals react that way. Craig Meyer does a great job at explaining the why which helps a lot in court.
GREAT FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS. SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW OFFICERS.
I took your full version in person in 2023, and this was a great refresher. Thank you for the knowledge!
I watched half of your class on a detail I was working on and then the next night went in on my normal shift. That night on my shift I stopped 3 cars total. The first car I stopped I got was a guy with a 13 year old active warrant from a neighboring county. While speaking with him he said he had been living in the area for nine years and no one has ever stopped him. The third car I stopped I ended up developing a PC for and got a possession of cocaine and meth as well as a violation of probation. Since I have taken and finished the course I have been finding more crime mainly on the lower level but the reaction and behaviors are very interesting. Just wanted to say thank you, at the agency I work at there is an expectation for proactive police work but no one truly shows you what to look for. I was considering leaving the profession and I truly believe that this course has saved my career. Thank you.
Outstanding class, so many practical lessons and strategies he shares to catch criminals.
Helped me not only get some of my best arrests but gave me the knowledge and tactics to stay alive.
I absolutely love this class! I learn something from it everytime I watch it. My time is about to run out and I super thankful for the employees at blue to gold to allow me an extension to watch it. I will be purchasing it again to watch once more. Thanks again!
I am about to hit my 3 year mark in law enforcement. I used to just stop everything and drive an unmarked unit. Now I have begun to be more selective with my stops and switched to a marked unit. I was only a few modules in the other day when I had a stop with a cluster of behaviors. I ended up flipping my driver on misdemeanor charges for information on drug dealers, and I know that is just the tip of what is to come. The new guy on my shift was my backup and he was amazed at what he watched, and now he wants to learn. I think of all the times I saw these behaviors and let them go because I had no idea what I was looking at or how to articulate it to those who also did not understand. I can confidently say I feel much stronger in my enforcement, lengthening the detention by building RAS through behaviors, articulating what I'm seeing, and getting more quality arrests. I can't recommend this course enough, I can't wait to take it in person in February. In a world of chess versus checkers, this is a grandmaster class.
Why Isnt This Being Taught at At Academy Level Amazing class. Humble Instructor. This class really highlights trends, behaviors, and tactics officers need to be aware of and utilizing at all times. Hopefully i’ll get to take it in person one day. Worth the money to have access to this plethora of information.
Took his class in person and his online class was just as outstanding. Thorough and in depth, truly took his time with both his in person and online class to make it a great learning experience.
Awesome class, constantly recommend it to all my colleagues.
Excellent course, very descriptive. The only class that I’ve taken which is relevant to being proactive off the interstates. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone
I really appreciated how Craig, the instructor, brought science into the discussion, especially when he touched on the sympathetic nervous system and its role in policing. It’s not something you often hear about, but it made a lot of sense when he explained how understanding this can improve how officers respond in high-stress situations. What stood out the most was how Craig didn’t just talk about these concepts—he showed us how they’re being applied in his own department. He used bodycam footage from his team to demonstrate that these strategies aren’t just theories; they actually work. Seeing real-world examples of these techniques in action was both reassuring and inspiring. Overall, I found the course incredibly valuable. It was a great mix of scientific insight and practical application, showing how proactive policing can be more effective when backed by an understanding of human behavior.
Hands down one of the best trainings B2G has featured. The amount of valuable content Craig has packed into this course is impressive. These eight hours of training flew by and I couldn’t get enough. For Officers wanting to be proactive and keep their lives in the process of arresting hard criminals, this class is a must have. Craig breaks down foundational elements to beat cop work that will not only save your life but make you a master of proactive patrol work.
Phenomenal class. This should be a requirement for patrol officers.
Excellent course for patrol officers
This is by far one of the best patrol-oriented trainings I've received. I took the on-demand course (online). At first, I was hesitant because I've taken other online courses from different companies and they kinda… sucked. But man, am I glad I took this class. It was like I was sitting in the actual class. Craig does an excellent job explaining everything and has a plethora of videos to show a step-by-step process. The tactics and methods on identifying behavior have ultimately changed the way that Im proactive. I can't unsee these things now and it feels so good seeing all the behaviors that were taught cause you KNOW you have something good. Its awesome. I strongly recommend taking this course. You'll learn a lot.
While this is a very fast paced course it’s digestible. It’s helpful that you have a month to watch the webinar. The knowledge ive taken away i am sure will change my career trajectory.
Great short course to drive home observing behaviors. I would recommend this course as a refresher for well-trained cops and a must for new cops. Combine this with courses that are safety oriented, we could really save a lot of cops lives.
Excellent course, great insight and real world scenarios/examples.
This was confirmation to a lot of the things I know already but eye opening to some new reactions from criminals.
This class should be required for patrol level officers. It will change the way you police. I highly recommend the full on-demand version.
I cannot wait for this course to get close to NOLA! Learn a tremendous amount as a new officer in just one hour!
Very good class. It appears that it doesn't matter if your new or 25+ yrs on. Excellent starter for someone 1-2yrs and great reminder of things experienced Officers have. During the this one hour webinar I took 3 pages of notes and fulled my toolbelt up with several things to take away and use. Great Job
Engaging, entertaining and great content. Highly recommend!
Great information on behavior ques and things to look for while driving, parked, and pedestrian stops. With it being a mini still covers all the stops we face in patrol. Well narrated and discussed!!
Amazing Will come in handy
Great basic proactive course for any officer - will recommend.
Outstanding intro. I recommend anyone take it.
This course was very informative on keeping an eye out for the little things you probably see everyday but overlook. Will definitely take the in-person course when it comes to my state.
I have heard about this course from other Blue to Gold instructors and they were not lying when they said it's a game changer! This has definitely opened my eyes on how to further excel in my career and survive the seemingly "average" traffic stop. Thank you, Craig and Blue to Gold for offering this as a free mini course! I will absolutely be signing up for the full in person course.
Great reinforcement of behavior to look for. I appreciate the case study examples the officer showcased.
K9 Review
Loved this class. For me it was the missing puzzle piece. Love the articulation of behaviors. Definitely gives you tips and tricks. Amazing course can’t wait to attend the in person course.
I have taken several proactive policing courses and Craig's class is the best out there. It was the best when he was with his last company, and its even better with Blue to Gold. Its been refined and organized since then. He explains everything well and shows you real life examples over and over. When you complete this class, you will see what you have been overlooking all this time. This also includes indicators of dangerous intentions. There is no other class I have seen that offers this quality of content on the subject of criminal interdiction. It will make you a better cop and could save lives.
I considered myself a traffic cop prior to this course...speeding, seatbelts, petty stuff. Immediately began seeing these reactions to my presence. This course opened up a whole new world of policing for me. Can't recommend it enough for guys that think they are proactive.
I've been an officer for 12 years, This by far is the best training I have ever received! I now have more clarity, confidence, and courage to perform my duties as a officer. I have had FTO's that didn't move the needle. I've had FTO that couldn't explain R.AS. or P.C or refuse to answer questions because, they didn't know the answer. Which in my opinion hinder officers being proactive. This course should be a staple. If I ever become a FTO I would purchase this course for the officers that would be trained by me. This course should added to FTO training across the U.S. this course saves lives. Thank you Sir!
Just good street cop skills and how to apply and articulate them!
The information provided is great for new officers trying to find ways to be confident in their proactive work. It is also a great refresher and reminder to experienced officers that may overlook those basics!
The course builds a strong foundation for the basis of stops and makes me really want to take the deep dive into the behavior of individuals outside of their pre-stop movements and actions.
Wow. What a great crash course! Every beat cop needs this course!
Hands down the best training out there. Second time taking it and will take again!
For Officers in inner cities, this is the perfect course and instructor to learn from
I've been doing proactive law enforcement work for some time now, but was able to learn new tactics and behaviors to look for! Cannot wait to get back on shift!

This is by far the best class that I have taken for my career. Craig is a fantastic teacher and makes this course very enjoyable. Not even a day after completing this course, I have already observed all of these behaviors on the road! Even got 2.4g of fentanyl off a stop while given consent from tips he mentioned in this course. You are doing yourself a disservice by not taking this.

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.
Great instruction and straightforward
Great interaction. Information was new and very useful
John does amazing, makes it easy to understand and unforgettable
Highly recommend for all peace officer, especially for those who strive to better themselves with POST certified training.
This course was incredibly beneficial. I really enjoyed the way that the instructor made the course to be interactive. If I had any questions, or confusion about any case law it was addressed.
Very informative class with many examples and details. Should be taken by all officers
I had the privilege of taking the Advanced Search and Seizure course with John as my instructor, and I can confidently say he was absolutely amazing. From day one, John had a natural ability to keep the entire class engaged which is a rare quality, especially in a subject that can get very technical and detail-heavy. What stood out the most was his personable nature. He created a welcoming and respectful environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and participating in discussions. But make no mistake that John isn’t just approachable; he’s also incredibly knowledgeable. His command of the material was impressive, and he didn’t just teach from the book. He brought in real-world applications, case law, and examples that made the content come alive.
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.
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.
The class was very informative for officers of every level. The instructor was engaged with the class and provided an extreme amount of knowledge on the subject.
Great class. Really good information
The Blue to Gold Advance Search and Seizure course delivers clear, practical training on complex Fourth Amendment issues. The instructors make case law easy to understand and apply in the field. A must for any officer looking to strengthen their knowledge and confidence.
Great class full of very useful information. Instructor was well prepared and knowledgeable about all topics. Excellent examples that puts the real world events into perspective.
Great course. Extremely knowledgeable instructor. Highly useful for job.
Great course, tons of information, this should be mandatory for every agency
I attended the class at the Norwalk High School. The class was informative with old and current case. Mr. Hazou kept the class interesting with current slides and his use of technology. Mr. Hazou also did an excellent job speaking and kept the class interesting.
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.
i learned a lot. Its about the minor details, especially when it comes to our line of work
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
One of the best instructors I've had in my 12 years of being a LEO!
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.
Love these courses. Have taken the three day course. Excellent information and taught in a simplistic form
Had my attention the entire way through. great information that helps to update and refresh the knowledge banks for this career. Highly recommend it to other officers!
Very well presented
Helpful information, very well presented, in manageable portions.
great job, it was like I was in one of your live classes.
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.
This course has provided many new insights I can add to the toolbelt when conducting a s/s investigation.
Very informative class. I enjoyed the laid back feeling from the instructor.
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.
Excellent course. I found it very valuable that you gave examples of both legal and illegal scenarios.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great all around search and seizure information!
Wonderful and very informative course--it had real life explanations-
Great class
Outstanding course
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.
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.
As a new supervisor, this course help me gain the knowledge I need to lead my officers
Really good class and easy to understand.
Very informational.
I love how you provide specifics in areas that might be a little questionable.
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.
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.
I’d recommend this class to all LEOs no matter how long you’ve been on the job. There is something to learn for everyone!
Great course and very informative.
Great information. 12/10 improved routine patrol knowledge. Statue limitations is a hell of a thing
Great class!!! Any officer should take this course!
Great class. Instructor is very knowledgeable and relays the information in ways you can understand and put in practice.
Great course! Relevant to our state we work in
Great class
The course was extremely educational and effective.
Great class and learned a lot. This was an excellent course that every LEO should take.
Great class! Learned a lot of information. Great instructor.
Fantastic course
Great instructor! Explained Case law down to the base
Great for experienced or new officers
Great class. Very informative and an eye opener for those of us who believe “This is how I always do police work” is standing case law.
Great course
Great class, learned a lot
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.
Advanced Search and Seizure training taught by John Wiehn is easily the best SaS training I have ever received. Well done! My first blue to gold training and I will be seeking out more. Thank you!
Wonderful class great instructor
Fantastic training with fantastic instructors.
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!
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!
This was an excellent class that thoroughly enjoyed. The best part for me was updated case law information, not simply rehashing old examples.
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.
This was a great training that does a good job of breaking down the fundamentals of search and seizure.
I attended the Advanced Search and Seizure one-day class and I believe it is a course that every law enforcement officer should attend for the informative (and fun!) information taught.
Search and Seizure class. I review a lot of educational programs as part of my job, this was the best way to present this material.
Advanced Search and Seizure is an excellent class that covers fundamental 4th Amendment issues every officer encounters during the course of their work. The class provided an overview that gave me more confidence to navigate the contacts and investigations I face every day.
The Advanced Search and Seizure class The course material provided is superior to all others I have partaken in. The details and concepts applied to the most basic to the most advanced concepts of the course are easy to understand and grasp, as well as entertaining and engaging. I was also very impressed with the instructor's knowledge and ability to get the students engaged and apply humor to make the class interesting.
Search and seizure - Best training I have ever received. This class should be included in all academies. Very clear and concise information from extremely knowledgeable instructors.
By far the best and most informative legal-based training I’ve attended
Very good refresher course for veterans and rookies. Answered a ton of questions throughout the course.
Useful case studies to help teach a training point
Advanced Search and Seizure was very informative. I enjoyed my instructor's energy and knowledge of the subject matter.
This class opened my eyes to all aspects of search and seizure. This class is recommended to all law enforcement agencies. So much detail and great instructor.
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.
This is the best program about Search & Seizure that I've ever done. Excellent!
Advanced Search and Seizure. Information was well presented, instructor was knowledgeable and did an excellent job presenting the subject matter.
The class was very informative. The instructor was very knowledgeable on search and seizure
The course was presented in an easy-to-digest way. Slides and topics were organized and easy to follow and provided good information that can be used going forward. The instructor was knowledgeable regarding USSC case law and explained cases and decisions clearly without creating confusion. The instructor also used video vignettes to help illustrate the points made.
The class was great! Very educational!
Advanced Search & seizure class was very well put together. Appreciate how the instructor relates to the student knowing the common language to explain the law.
I attended the search & seizure class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and answered all questions to the best of his ability. He kept the class engaging and interesting by encouraging conversation. I would highly recommend to anyone in Law Enforcement.
Search and Seizure class was full of important information and knowledgeable instructor.
Advanced search and seizure was well taught, indulged into various topics, and gave time for all questions.
Excellent class, great breakdown of information, instructor highly knowledgeable.
Mastering searches and seizures Lots of information and good case law Very informative and the information was understandable
I just completed the advanced search and seizure in-person class. It had a lot of good information as well as good case law. I especially liked the fact that case law was used to refer to for certain situations to help better understand. I would highly recommend this training to other Officers.
Mastering Search and Seizure Great class
Incredibly knowledgeable instructor. All information was presented in a logical and comprehensible manner.
Seizure book. Great class extremely informative!
The Advanced Search and Seizure course really opened my eyes to the 4th amendment. The course instructor was very professional and I feel very informed about the content that was displayed to me today.
Advance Search and Seizure. Very insightful and instructive class. The instructor made it very easy to stay engaged and understand what was being taught. A lot of useful caselaw and information that is never taught.
Advanced search and seizures takes the basics of what every LEO should know and greatly expands upon it. Great class full of extremely useful info.
Advanced search and seizure class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaged. Answered all questions. Provided real-life experience. Would definitely recommend this class.
The search and seizure class was great. It's nice to know that everything I get in trouble for at my department, I'm legally justified and right.
Advanced Search And Seizure Course was very informative! I believe that it gives a great insight as to why we do things a certain way in this profession. I believe it gives the recipients of the training knowledge to take back to their department and use in everyday encounters with the public!! Great Course!
The training was very helpful! I have a better understanding of Search and Seizure.
Advanced Search and Seizure……. Excellent Excellent Instructor….. Extremely entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable
Advance Search and Seizure - a great class to get current information about what's going on with current standards regarding applicable laws and regulations. The speaker is upbeat and very engaging!! Highly recommend it to others to take!!!
Awesome training. Engaging and informative the instructor was fantastic in engaging the class and making the topic relatable
The training was great, and helped me further understand what a search and seizure is. Recommend officers with a minimum of a year of experience to attend.
This is one of the best if not the best and most entertaining search and seizure classes I have attended through the years. Makes me want to look at other training courses that are offered.
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.
Great class. Refines case law into understandable patterns that can be easily applied. Gives the ability the think through the sequences of events to dictate the correct course of action.
I enjoyed the class and the instructor. The class was a really good refresher and provided some really good newer case law. The instructor was knowledgeable, and a really good presenter, and and felt like the humor and facts facts were on point
The Advanced Search and Seizure class was by far the best course I've taken related to legal theories and the rule of law. The instructor was passionate, informative, and entertaining, but also delivered his material in an easy-to-follow manner.
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.
Great class eye-opening with the scenarios and case law presented
The Search and Seizure class was great! It helped fine-tune my understanding of the 4th amendment. The information was easy to understand and will be helpful as I continue through my career.
I completed the Advance Search and Seizure online training. I enjoyed the course, and learned a lot of helpful tips. The course was informative and provided a lot of real world examples and explanations. I would recommend this course and instructor to others in my department.
Advanced Search and Seizure Class was great! As a new officer, it helped solidify concepts I was taught, taught me new ways to approach problems, taught me concepts and case law I had never heard of and made me feel like a better asset to my agency.
Overall great information regarding search and seizure. Very informational
Loved the PowerPoint points and how detailed they were, and how easy to break them down for a basic officer
Great information. Instructor was very knowledgeable of cases and how to apply them to the job.
I really enjoyed this course! There was a lot of helpful informations and explanation of cases. I’m really glad I attended.
Great case law with great conversation about how the cases were handled and could have been handled better
The class is very educational and definitely a great knowledge of wealth in the instructor.
Highly recommend for all cops! Examples given are great and can be applied to all aspects of our profession.
Great course, very good examples, and the instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining. All academy classes and officers out in the field should take this course as a new and or refresher.
Great class should be required for all new cops, didn't know what some things like Curtilidge was defined, I knew briefly
Class has been great, it has allowed me to understand more of the “ grey area “ we often navigate through in patrol. This class is a great addition to the basic knowledge taught in the academy.
First time attending great training and resources. Excellent explanation of Court Cases.
Came into this training with an open mind and now I’m leaving with a full learning experience like never before.
Advanced Search and Seizure class: Great review of a topic that is constantly changing and evolving. This is my second time taking this class and next time it’s offered, I’ll take it again!
The Search and Seizure class was amazing and I wish this class and the information that was covered was apart of my academy training. I have a more fluid understanding now then before taking the class.
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 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.
Excellent presentation and explanation of the 4th amendment. Previously purchased some of the books and are a valuable resource!
The advanced search and seizure class was what I needed, especially as a young cop, to sharpen my decision-making and help me build confidence in the actions I'm taking while working the road.
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.
Advanced Search and Seizure Course was very informative with updated case law. Instructor was super knowledgeable and did a great job with presentations, videos, and thought provoking conversations.
This is probably the best training I have ever attended regarding search and seizure. It should be a must for anyone working patrol, narcotics or general investigations.
Great class helps us make better decisions. Should be mandated for all cops. Helps make sure we are doing our job correctly within the confounds of the law
Lots of helpful information. I feel more confident in search and seizure. I feel as if I can successfully utilize the tips and tricks mentioned to perform well in my position as police officer.
Good class, great refresh of SS. Instructor was well prepared and entertaining. Would recommend class
This was an excellent class! I have sat through many search and seizure classes and this out did them all. The instructor kept the attention of the class and made it very easy to learn.
I think the quality of the class was good and went in depth with Case Law backed material. Instructor was wonderful and communicated. Questions were answered and attention to students was great. I would've liked a little information on potential issues regarding data and computer/phone devices.
Great review. Loved all the case reviews.
I thought this was a great class and think everybody should take this course.
After being out of Law Enforcement for 6 years I am learning a lot of recent case law that has changed the way we do things. Great class.
Search and seizure class is great. Lots of time spent explaining boundaries and answering questions.
Most legal updates are boring and dry, and death by PowerPoint. John kept me focused, and presented the material appropriately. It was a good refresher, and answered questions I had.
It was engaging environment to learn. It was great overview of case law, and pertinent Colorado specific case law.
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.
Search and seizure class was great.
Advanced Search and Seizure - extremely informative and very well presented
I enjoyed the Blue to Gold Advanced Search & Seizure class with all of the examples provided to help put day to day experiences on the job in to perspective on decision making
Advanced search and seizure was a very good class for patrol officers. We went over case law pertinent to the jobs. I will be re-teaching some of this material to new officers in FTO.
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!

Real good class, especially for a very young department. Also great refresher for senior officers!
LOVED IT! Amazing class, good explanations and examples.
The course is great, but if a K9 handler is only interested in seeing the information associated with Use of Force and Patrol K9s you cannot skip ahead. Of course I understand the course will not be completed and you cannot get a certificate etc if you do not watch all of the videos. But I purchased the course specifically for that chapter and there is no option to jump ahead without a review of search/seizure/and a bunch of detection dog case law. While interesting, irrelevant to patrol K9 use of force case law questions.
I am new to the K9 world and recently got a K9. This course covered everything you need to know about case law and provided many examples. I highly recommend this course to any new officer or seasoned one who needs a nice refresher.
Great course with extremely useful information. All our K9 members will go through this training!
This is more than just a K9 case law class! It covers every word of the 4th Amendment in detail! This class will give you a whole new look on search and seizure and case law to support the information given to you. This class contains great information for new K-9 handlers, but also great information if you are not a K-9 handler. Having a hard time articulating R.S. to hold a person for a K9 on a traffic stop? Look no farther for training, and take this class!
I thought this was great. I've only been a handler for six months and while my K9 school was awesome for the hands-on portion this course really closed the loop on the legal and administrative aspects. I very much enjoyed the course and I highly recommend it!
I have taken several in-person trainings and online through Blue to Gold. All the classes are extremely beneficial and contain the information needed. Great job and keep up the great work. I look forward to future trainings and I make sure to spread the word with my agency and others about the benefits.
Excellent course. Lots of beneficial information with the ability to go back and review.
