Zaki Hazou is one of the most dedicated law enforcement instructors you’ll ever encounter. His tenacity in investigations and his refusal to accept complacency set him apart as a true professional. Zaki’s relentless drive to uncover critical information and share his knowledge with fellow officers makes him an invaluable asset to the profession. His unmatched determination and resilience in the face of both administrative hurdles and criminal adversaries have earned him the reputation of being the “real deal” — a true honey badger of law enforcement.

Great training. It gave me new tools to use in my report such as using bullet points and headings for paragraphs. I enjoyed the examples given and found your ending case example informative on the different steps you took involving every part of the crash (before, middle, and after). You said to not write a report to justify why you made an arrest but for the prosecution. That was something I found helpful in adjusting how I could write my reports.

B. Sloan

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.

HCSO
Ohio

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.

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.

Zaki Hazou was very knowledgeable and presented the course material in a logical manner. Zaki was eager to help the class understand, and tailored some of the material specifically to Ohio where are course was located. Zaki used appropriate real world examples, and was effective I'm his conveyance of the lesson material.

Today's class has been very informative. Although no one likes to sit and look at slides all day, our instructor has made it engaging and interactive, instead of just speaking to us through the slides. I would recommend this training to all police personnel.

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

5

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!

5

Raymond Wegrzynek

Very useful info. I love that you have an explanation of the video or summary below. Helps get. A better understanding of information.

5

Mark Davis

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.

5

This course really enlightened me and I learned a lot of small tidbits that will help me out on the streets.

5

Colby Green

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.

5

Amanda Williams

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!

5

Colin Rogers

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.

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.

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!

This course was very easy to follow and created an informative & educational building block which every law enforcement agency should build upon.

I am a supervisory special agent with the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations assigned to Headquarters. Our office recently acquired your training portals regarding Duty to Intervene and Real World De-escalation. I have been a federal law enforcement officer for 33 years- and I want to express my appreciation for a very well-put-together program. Things have changed over the time I have served in law enforcement and I think your program effectively confronts the issues that we as law enforcement professionals must cope with. I am assigned to headquarters, but some of the things you address (especially in the Real World De-escalation portal) are measures that I can consider practicing with the management of my own staff in the office setting. Again—thank you and thanks for making us better law enforcement personnel!

Crime Scene Investigation Case Law


The Crime Scene Investigator Case Law course is the ultimate training program for all sworn and non-sworn members who process crime scenes.

John Wiehn was great… a good mix of engaging teaching style and cop-humor for the Emerging Legal Trends and CSI Case Law classes. I never once found myself bored or losing interest. Very knowledgeable on national case law and obviously did his homework on Nebraska stuff as well. Very relevant and valuable training! The slides were factual and easy to follow, and the peppering of videos throughout helped break the monotony. The only thing I’d recommend is using yellow for highlights in the text instead of red for those of us who are slightly colorblind ;-)
