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.

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.

His passion to help officers understand the law is obvious. He took the time to answer all questions and made the topic interesting.

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.

Clearfield City PD
Utah

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.

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.

Rashaan Mitchell

This training opened my eye and was awesome!

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!
