I have attended three classes with John (report writing, mastering search and seizure and search warrants. He is a great instructor who keeps the class engaged and he has recently taken time to help review our inventory policy, which was very helpful! Blue to gold is the gold standard of law enforcement training.
John is very knowledgeable. Every question and hypothetical we could think of he gave us an in depth answer supported by case law. I have learned so much and really enjoyed picking his brain. This training is a must for all agencies .
Good class for law enforcement. If you are becoming a detective it’s a great refresher on search and seizure. Instructor makes class interesting and engaging.
I highly recommend this course. This instructor knows his material and has the expertise. Also knowledge is power.
John is an extremely engaging instructor that finds way to make a very bland subject manner interesting and memorable in such a way that helps retain the information divulged
Came for the case law traing, stayed for the dad jokes.
It was apparent that John was very knowledgeable on the material covered in class. He explained things well and was passionate about the material. 10/10 do recommend!
John is a great instructor. He teaches with enthusiasm and makes the class engaging
Very well spoken and knowledgeable on the topic. Was able to keep the attention of the room. Very enthusiastic.
Great class. Keeps me engaged and learning. Happy to known more about law enforcement.
This was an excellent training course. The Blue to Gold training courses that we took were very informative a John Wiehn was an outstanding instructor. Recommended highly as a training provider.
We had John out to teach Mastering Search and Seizure and Advanced Search Warrants. John did an outstanding job teaching and the material was excellent. This training curriculum should be required for all peace officers.
Outstanding course. Great instructor with a wealth of knowledge.
John did a great job of covering the course content and utilizing video breakdowns to drive home the lesson. Overall a great refresher for those who have attended other B2G courses.
I have taken Bulletproof Report Writing and Mastering Search and Seizure with John. His mastery of search and seizure and his presentation style makes for a highly effective learning environment.
As always, it does without saying. This training is tier 1 in all aspects. From the material, to q&a, professional knowledge, and engaging.
Outstanding update on case law and best practices.
I had the pleasure of being taught by John from Blue to Gold during a recent training session held in Greer, South Carolina. He covered several critical topics, including Report Writing, Search and Seizure, and Courtroom Testimony. John's extensive knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the course. I particularly enjoyed his sessions on courtroom testimony, which were enriched with new material from a recent national court case, providing us with up-to-date and relevant insights. What truly stood out was John's dedication to the officers in the class. He was always willing to take the time to answer questions, even those that were off-topic, ensuring that we fully understood the subject matter. His approachable demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made the learning experience both informative and enjoyable. Overall, John's teaching was exceptional, and I highly recommend Blue to Gold’s training sessions to any law enforcement officer looking to deepen their understanding of the law and strengthen their career skills.
Both of the classes that I took were very informative. John is a great instructor! I'm looking forward to attending classes in the future.
John did a fantastic job covering courtroom testimony. The case included in the instructional material was spot on and backed up many of the bullet points within his slides. I would attend another one of his classes!!
John Wiehn is a great instructor. This was one of the best courses I’ve taken as a LEO. It was informative and very relevant. Instead of putting us to sleep with PowerPoint, John was able to keep it lively and interactive. I really liked how he taught the Federal Law and the State Law. I look forward to taking another course taught by John
Excellent training. Subject matter expert. Engaging three days of classes. Would definitely recommend.
I took Advanced Search and Seizure and Advanced Traffic Stops with John. As we all know, Washington state is very restrictive with police affairs. John dove deep into case law to provide Officers with more tools, and dispel commonly accepted beliefs regarding WA laws. And he did so in a fun and captivating manner. You can tell that John is knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Every self-respected LEO needs to take these courses — even the salty vets who may think they know it all. Thanks again John. I look forward to your next class in WA.
Great class! So much useful information!
Search and seizure was an excellent class. John was extremely knowledgeable and he kept it interesting. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge.
I enjoy all Blue to Gold trainings I have taken. Switching from one circuit to another can be confusing, this class helps me understand Search and Seizure as it applies to federal law, not just common practice.
Outstanding training. Everything was well organized, and John is extremely knowledgeable. I feel much more prepared to do my job. I recommend the courses to all of my colleagues.
Very well spoken. Very informative class.
You can definitely tell John knows his stuff. I thoroughly enjoy his training videos. I always take away something from them, whether it be new knowledge or a refresher. Very appreciative of him sharing his knowledge, as well as the whole Blue to Gold staff.
Instructor was very knowledgeable and made a known boring subject of case law very interesting and extremely educational. Kept the class engaged and was able to connect on an LEO level due to his prior LEO experience. It was surprisingly top notch and educational training that I expected to be outright boring.
Every officer should attend this class prior to being released from FTO. The knowledge gained from this class is invaluable.
John is a great instructor. He is very knowledgeable in the subject matter of search and seizure law. He also keeps everyone engaged in his training style
Great class
I highly highly recommend these courses. 4th amendment is a very highly debated issue. John does a great job breaking it down so we as officers can be as safe as possible. Any and all LEO needs to take these courses.
Great instructor.

Outstanding presentation on SITA. I’ve been on the job for 50 plus years and an attorney. I enjoyed the presentation. Picked up some good points. Excellent review
Partner of mine took one of his search and seizure classes and gave raving reviews on it!! He couldn’t stop talking about the class! Saw he was teaching a webinar the same week and signed up! No regrets! Great instructor great energy and great information!!! Thank you!!!
Great instructor, really knows what he is talking about.
Learned a lot from you tonight and some of the things we doing is not right. So I see the can and can’t now
I think you did a great job. Easy to follow and understand.
The webinar had great case law and easy to understand references. I loved it
Great instructor and very informative!!!
Incredible instructor, it would be worth the money to hear him speak.
Good classes. Instructor high energy, positive and engaging. Only recommendation is do intros of students, name tag on desk. This assists with students engaging with each other and collaboration of depts. Good classes
Excellent information to help make one’s reports better and lead to a conviction and avoid questions about details of the incident.
The class was awesome. It was obvious to me as I was taking the test how much of the information I retained. John did an excellent job presenting the material. I have already spoke with Erahan about bring John back April 2024 for a week to present the report writing class. I also really liked the format of the class as well as the testing procedure. Great Job!
John was my instructor and he presented a lot of good information to the class. John made sure we understood what h e was talking about before moving on. If we did not understand how he answered the question, he would do make sure he gave us an answer we understood.
Instructor was very educational and kept the class entertaining. Great at keeping the class engaged. Highly recommend.
Informative training that offers numerous resource post training for Officers. I recommend this for new and veteran officers. Also, for prosecutor's, too.
Charismatic, entertaining and most importantly very enthusiastic about his teaching material 10/10
Great class with lots of great/valuable information.
John was super knowledgeable on case law and state specific laws regarding search and seizure. His explanations and scenario based questions really solidified the content taught throughout the course.
Instructor was very educational and kept the class entertaining. Great at keeping the class engaged. Highly recommend.
Great class, great information. Instructor kept us involved and interested.
I attended the advanced search and seizure course with John Wiehn. He did a great job explaining different case laws to us and making sure we had an understanding of everything he was teaching us. Every law enforcement professional should take this course. We are all one call away from being case law ourselves and this course will protect you from that. Even though John is an attorney he keeps the class interesting and encourages questions as he was a cop himself not that long ago.
The training was extremely insightful. John took a complex subject and explained it in a common-sense manner.
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!
Advanced Traffic Stops This course had great content and a breakdown of legal theories. The case law references were applicable and backed the topics covered. Our instructor, John, is very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Advanced criminal investigations, as part of my job I evaluate curriculum and instructional materials, this is a nearly flawless way to present this, John Wiehn has mastered the art of edutainment.
Wiehn was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions in depth. Would highly recommend taking his classes!
I really enjoyed what the class had to offer. The report writing classes I’ve had are no more than 2 hours long and this was really in-depth. This class also explained the legality side of how your report can cause you to have a hard day in court. I learned a ton and hope to share everything I learned with my agency and fellow Deputies. John was also very knowledgeable and made a report writing class entertaining! I would recommend the classes and knowledge Blue to Gold has to offer to every agency in the U.S.!
John Wiehn is extremely knowledgeable and makes the course content easy to digest and understand. Kept my attention during the whole day.
Really enjoyed this class! Very valuable information. I am excited to head back to my own agency and inform other officers of what I have learned! John is a phenomenal instructor! He taught my academy search and seizure, I am thankful I was allowed to come back for another class!
Advanced Search and Seizure Valuable information and presented in such an efficient manner to really teach Case Law. The instructor John Wiehn understand, informs, and presents materials in an engaging manner to really keep Officer’s informed and out of trouble. Really appreciate the course will be taking future courses!
Very helpful … learned Many case laws that are relevant. Excellent teaching style , kept the interest of the class
Class was fantastic. Tons of valuable information. Instructor was great. He knew his stuff and his delivery was amazing. Educational and entertaining at the same time. I will look into more Blue to Gold classes for sure.
Best search and seizure class attended in 17 years. Well done, instructor was engaging, passionate, and humorous.
John has great energy, shows excited passion and smart instructor.
Search and Seizure course with John Wiehn was excellent! Relevant information that improved my understanding and will help me better articulate my actions in my reports and testimony in court. Highly recommend this course.
Very good training, very informational and good presentation. John is a very knowledgeable individual and great presenter. Kept my attention and was able to answer all questions. Would highly recommend this class and this presenter to anyone.
Very informative. I appreciate the instructor's presentation, he held my attention through the potentially dry topic.
The training on search and seizure was very informative. The instructor was very knowledgeable and presented the content well.
Blue to Gold Search and Seizure is an amazing class. Sgt Wiehn is a top notch instructor and is capable of keep the students attention. I learned a lot about search and seizure in the state of Kansas. I will look for more Blue to Gold classes in the future.
Took the report writing class presented by Mr. We The instruction was through and relevant.
: I have attended Blue to Gold training in the past and it was excellent. Yesterday, I attended Advanced Criminal Investigations. The instructor was John Wiehn. He was very knowledgeable on the subject. He was entertaining and interactive with the class. I would attend future Blue to Gold trainings and would look for John as the instructor.

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)
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 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

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!

The instructor also used video vignettes to help illustrate the points made.

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.
