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.

Quality course and instruction. Thank you.

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

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 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.

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 Seizure……. Excellent Excellent Instructor….. Extremely entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable

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!

Excellent course with thought-provoking and educational examples. Both entertaining and informative.

Great course! It was a good refresher and reminds me to keep things legit for the best stops!

This is a great course which will help any officer make great cases while using these search techniques without violating anyones rights.

This is an amazing class and has a lot of great information!

Very informative course! It gave me more insight and useful information.

Very insightful.

Advanced Traffic Stops helped me, as a 4 year LEO, feel more comfortable with 4th Amendment questions while on a traffic stop. Thank you!

Much appreciated! You all do a fantastic work and service for the law enforcement community. I wish you were around when I was a rookie. Keep it up. Thank you for laying out your teachings in such an understanding way. Love your commitment to our LEO community!

This course does a great job on expanding basic knowledge on traffic stop legality. Great breakdown of legal points involving traffic stops. The case law associated with each module is a great touch.

I'm a new supervisor and after taking this course, I feel more prepared to mead my officers

I enjoyed going through this course and gained new insights on traffic stops based of case laws that were mentioned throughout the course. I liked the video examples used and how they were broken down to relate to this course.

The class was great

Very good class

Great class, extremely useful for the job!

Great class! Learned a lot about the 4th amendment.

Great training - A lot of case law that I learned new things about & case law I had never read before

Advanced Search as well as traffic stops was excellent. Zaki was a great instructor and very intelligent. He answered any and all of my questions before and after class. Thanks Zaki!!

Advanced traffic stops class, another amazing class, great case studies.

I enjoyed the class. The use of Colorado specific cases was very appreciated.

Great class. Great instructor.

Good presentation and good content. The case law aspect was the most beneficial.

Very interesting subject matter and it is always good to refresh your knowledge of it. Very informative class and the instructor is very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Fantastic information. Presented in an informative and educational way. Learned a lot! Especially how embarrassingly wrong our agency had been teaching previously, with regard to consensual encounters.

I appreciate the law enforcement way of explaining the material and not in a complicated legal terms or an attorney ‘s definition
