Constructive Possession The class had good information in explaining the difference between Constructive Possession & Actual Possession. And he gave good case law to refer to.

The amount of “ums” and “uhs” are distracting. More case studies would be better.

Anthony is one of the top instructors I have ever met in any profession. He not only knows his material thoroughly but also knows how to keep his students continuously interested throughout his presentations. I credit Anthony and his teachings as being the basis for some of my best work. Not only did Anthony's report writing teachings inspire me to go the extra step and teach me how to articulate my reports better, it helped me understand additional evidence and factors to look for in my investigations. My work has been highly praised by supervisors and assistant attorneys general since incorporating Anthony's guidance into my work.

"Outstanding Training for New Officers – A Must-Have Course! Anthony Bandiero’s Basic Search & Seizure for Police Academies is hands down the best foundational course I’ve come across for law enforcement professionals. As someone who has seen many training programs, this course stands out for its clarity, practical application, and engaging delivery. Bandiero’s teaching style makes complex legal principles easy to understand, even for recruits with no prior experience. He takes the guesswork out of topics like probable cause, reasonable suspicion, and the dos and don’ts of lawful searches. The course is packed with real-world examples and up-to-date case law, ensuring every officer is prepared to apply these principles confidently and correctly in the field. The video format is professional and highly engaging, with clear visuals and explanations that keep you interested from start to finish. This course should be mandatory for every police academy—it lays a rock-solid foundation for ethical, effective policing and helps new officers avoid costly mistakes. I highly recommend Basic Search & Seizure for Police Academies to academies, trainers, and anyone starting their law enforcement career. Another excellent resource from Anthony Bandiero and Blue to Gold University!"

Breanna Leingang

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!

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.

As a newer officer, this lesson answered many questions for me.

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!
