Cincinnati, Ohio

I absolutely enjoyed having Zaki as an instructor. He kept everything interesting and engaging and explained everything very well. It is obvious he is passionate about what he does and passing on that knowledge to fellow cops. I would highly recommend attending the class if you see his name behind it.

I spent the past 3 days completing Blue to Gold advance Search and Seizure, Traffic Stops, and Bulletproof writing. Whether you’re a rookie or a senior officer these classes are worth attending. Zaki Hazou made this PowerPoint training engaging and informative. And if you think you don’t need to attend the bulletproof writing because you know how to incorporate the who, where, when, why, and how in your reports It’s much more than that. I believe it will only make my “good” reports even better. Hazou uses his experience, training, and knowledge to explain everything in detail and how to incorporate it into your job.

Informative and entertaining class.

Excellent course. Excellent instructor. Zaki kept the class interesting and gave real life examples from his experience as a fellow Ohio officer. This class should be required for all new officers before they go on solo patrol.

Very knowledgeable and very engaging on search and seizure. Makes a difficult topic that may be hard to understand, understandable. Speaks like a cop when things are presented in lawyer jargon

Entertaining and very informative.

I'm not much of a review-writing guy. But this class, and the instructor (Det. Zaki H.) were simply top notch. In my 13 years of attending yearly legal updates, I got used to (and was expecting) another boring class. Not this one. Det. Zaki was very energetic and enthusiastic about the material. He set the tone early on encouraging officers to participate, ask questions, and not leaving the class if they had lingering questions. Blue to Gold is by far one of the best training companies out there. I can't recommend this class enough. If you're a cop in Ohio, you should take the class with Det. Zaki who is an Ohio cop himself. A+ class. A+ instructor.

Great base of knowledge and understanding of search and seizure. A must for anyone looking for an opportunity to learn more about the 4th Amendment.

One of the best instructors I’ve had training with

I attended Zaki's emerging legal trends class in Bethel Ohio. The class was excellent. The topics were on point, especillay search incident to arrest and drones. Zaki is an exceptional instructor. His passion to help officers understand the law is obvious. He took the time to answer all questions and made the topic interesting. As a current detective in Ohio, he was able to address Ohio specific issues which I found to be interesting. This is my 4th blue to gold in-person class with Zaki. A+ instructor and A+ training.

Blue to Gold training class is highly recommended for all agencies as it is very informative and easy to understand. If there is any misleading information or confusion, the instructor Zaki goes out of his way to explain and ensure understanding.

Attended the advanced search and seizure class. The instructor was awesome and kept the class engaged
