Mastering Search & Seizure combines two of Blue to Gold’s most popular classes: Advanced Search & Seizure and Advanced Traffic Stops and added additional topics like community caretaking and emergency aid exception. This class is vital for any officer, at any level, with any experience. Students will complete the course with a mastery of search and seizure and will know how to make good case law…more importantly…why!
Outstanding!
Once through general information this course provided good content for lawful vehicle searches
Incredible class. I used the Search and Seizure Survival Guide for 4 years prior to this class. This class dove deeper into a crucial subject for all officers, and provided a more in depth understanding.
Mastering Search and Seizure was an eye opening class and allowed me to look at search and seizure in a new light. I had nothing to compare it to when learning about 4th amendment in the academy, but now that I have some experience it helps me know why I can do what I do.
In this comprehensive training program, we will delve deep into case law, providing you with a thorough understanding of how to respond legally and effectively to a wide range of challenging situations. From undercover operations to anonymous tips, constructive possession issues, and more, our course covers it all. You will learn how to articulate these complex issues in a legally defensible manner, ensuring your investigations are rock-solid.
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.
